Description
Originally written for piano four hands, this set of 21 lively dance tunes, mostly on Hungarian themes, are among Johannes Brahms’ (1833-1897) most popular works today, and they were the most profitable for him in his own lifetime also. 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. Arranged for many different instruments and ensembles over the years, this transcription for flute and piano has been completed by well-known American classical flutist Robert Stallman, and it is the first arrangement of the HUNGARIAN DANCES for that instrument in a complete edition. Historical background included in Stallman’s notes. Book 1 includes Nos. 1 – 10, which were written between 1858 and 1868.
