Liszt often played combinations of the Magyar Dalok (S. 242/1–11; LW A60a; R. 105a) in recitals. One such example is nos. 5, 4 and 11, which was published as the Trois mélodies hongroises (by Bernard Latte) and the Ungarische Nationalmelodien (by Haslinger) (S. 243; LW A60d; R. 105d); these make small changes to the outer pieces and leave the inner piece unchanged. The Haslinger version primarily differs from the Latte version in that it contains short cadenzas in the outer pieces; it also exists in a further, simplified version (S. 243bis; LW A60d; R. 105d).

This collection later formed the basis for the sixth of the Rapsodies hongroises (S. 244/6; LW A132/6; R. 106/6).
