Description
Originally written for piano four hands in 1879, 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, the orchestration by Martin Schmeling (1864-1943) of Hungarian Dances Nos. 5, 6, and 7 include numerous optional parts permitting great flexibility to ensembles of different sizes.
