Johannes Brahms--Hungarian Dance

Johannes Brahms--Hungarian Dance www.encognitive.com The Hungarian Dances (German Ungarische Tänze) by Johannes Brahms (woo 1), are a set of 21 lively dance tunes based mostly on Hungarian themes. Only numbers 11, 14 and 16 are entirely original compositions. They vary from about a minute to four minutes in length. They are among Brahms' most popular works, and were certainly the most profitable for him. Each dance has been arranged for a wide variety of instruments and ensembles. Brahms originally wrote the version for piano four-hands and later arranged the first 10 dances for solo piano. He wrote orchestral arrangements for No. 1, No. 3 and No. 10. Other composers, including Antonín Dvořák, orchestrated the other dances. The most famous Hungarian Dance is No. 5 in F♯ minor (G minor in the orchestral version). en.wikipedia.org From: prokopton Views: 110224 258 ratings Time: 02:21 More in Music
