Title NameHungarian Dances Nos. 17 through 21 (WoO 1)
Marketing CopyOriginally 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 Reményi, including the csárdás “Bártfai emlék” (Memories of Bártfa) by Hungarian composer Béla Kéler, which became the basis for Hungarian Dance No. 5. Arranged for many different instruments and ensembles over the years, this orchestration by Antonín Dvo?ák (1841-1904) of Hungarian Dances Nos. 17 through 21 was one of many commissioned by the original publisher in the late 19th century. Instrumentation: 2(2nd dPicc).2.2.2: 4.2.3.0: Timp.Perc(2-3): Hp: Str (9-8-7-6-5 in set). Reprint edition.
