Description
Originally written for piano four hands in 1879, Hungarian Dances (WoO 1), a set of 21 lively dance tunes mostly based on Hungarian themes, are among Johannes Brahms’ (1833-1897) most popular works today. They have been arranged for many different instruments and ensembles over the years. In 1850, Brahms was introduced to “gypsy-style” music through Hungarian violinist Ede Rem�nyi, including the cs�rd�s “B�rtfai eml�k” (Memories of B�rtfa) by Hungarian composer B�la K�ler, which became the basis for Hungarian Dance No. 5. Hungarian Dance No. 8 in A Minor, here orchestrated by Sam Dennison, invites comparison with the celebrated fifth dance and features lilting dotted rhythms and sudden key changes. Instrumentation: 2+Picc.2.2.2: 4.2.3.1: Timp.Perc(1): Str (9-8-7-6-5 in set).
