Hungarian Dances 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.

I really like Hungarian Dance.

It's very exciting and beautiful.

It makes my spirit happy.

[TheEmpiricist]

The way and tempo in which this is played is absolutely riveting. It's as if the world is passing by too fast while we're trying to grasp on to some of its fleeting beauty.

i have this piece for district band auditions on tenor saxophone, and it sounds great when its played right, but it is the hardest piece i have EVER had to even attempt to play.

I wonder if anyone can tell me about the recording I heard taday. The main insrtument was a violin and the bow seemd to bounce across the strings making a sound like a vibrato.

[TheMadrigalista]

Voglio dire una cosa semplice, da uomo semplice. Io amo la polifonia rinascimentale, la musica strumentale del '600-'700, il grande Romanticismo sinfonico, il classico moderno, il Rock duro e persino il canto popolare. Amo tutto ciò da innamorato della musica, che non ho mai studiato. Ogni primavera, quando il vento di Marzo anima i crinali erbosi e le acque, io sento risuonare in cuore tutte queste melodie Ungheresi che ormai conosco a memoria. E ancora non ne sono annoiato.

" i don't know if i love you yet ,but i dream of you every night"
