Rhapsody, in terms of music, is a form of irregularity. It may be melodious at times, but it is usually composed of many chords and notes that ultimately form to produce sound of grandiose. In addition, rhapsodies are largely open for interpretation to suit the performer's taste. Some good examples of rhapsody are: Rhapsody in Theme of Paganini by Rachmaninoff, and Rhapsody No.2 and No.6 by Liszt.
Yes, Rachmaninoff's "Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini" is often considered post-Romantic. Composed in 1934, it incorporates the lush harmonies and emotional expressiveness characteristic of late Romantic music while also displaying influences of modernism. The work features virtuosic demands on the piano and a rich orchestral texture, blending traditional Romantic elements with innovative forms and techniques.
Franz Liszt wrote "The Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2" and is the most famous of the set.
