Mazeppa is a symphonic poem (German: Symphonische Dichtung) composed by Franz Liszt between the years 1851 to 1854 for orchestra. Mazeppa, S. 100, is the sixth in the cycle of twelve symphonic poems written during Liszt's time in Weimar,[1] however a thirteenth composition was added to his collection in 1882.[2] Mazeppa is based on the poem of the same title written by Victor Hugo in 1829.[2] The work premiered at the Court Theatre in Weimar on April 16, 1854.
