	Hungarian Dances (Brahms) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Hungarian Dances by Johannes Brahms (WoO 1), are a set of 21 lively dance tunes based on Hungarian themes.
		Each dance has been arranged for a plethora of instruments and ensembles, from piano 4 hands to orchestra.
		The Hungarian Dances bear many resemblances to, and may have influenced, the similarly profitable and popular Slavonic Dances of Antonín Dvořák.

	NPRN Composer of the Month
		Echoes of native Hungarian music appear in various nooks and crannies throughout Brahms's output, but among the works in which they appear most overtly are the Hungarian Dances for piano four hands.
		Brahms began composing these during his Detmold years and added to them gradually for the next several decades years until eventually there were four books containing twenty-one items.
		Brahms himself orchestrated three of the dances (the first, third, and tenth); the standard published orchestral versions of the remainder are from a variety of orchestrators, including (for the five dances of Book 4) Antonín Dvorák, who Brahms encouraged and helped early in his career.

		Brahms' collection of dances were published in two installments eleven years apart.
		Looking at the Hungarian Dances as a whole it appears that the first set of dances (Books 1 and 2) is more popular today than the second (Books 3 and 4).
		Elisabeth von Herzogenberg, a close friend of Brahms, wrote to the composer soon after the publication of Books 3 and 4: 'Delicious as the early ones were, I hardly think you hit off the indescribable and unique character of a Hungarian band so miraculously then as now.

		Johannes Brahms is a well-known classicist of the Romantic Era, avoiding the modern trends of his German symphonist contemporaries.
		The 21 Hungarian Dances are mostly borrowed from authentic gypsy and Hungarian sources, with the occasional original tune by Brahms himself; the orchestrations on this disk are taken from various arrangers: Brahms, Dvorak, not to mention the conductor of the CD himself, Ivan Fischer.
		The rhapsodical and improvisatory nature of the performances are stunning; a Brahms I have never heard (and perhaps he never had either), but perhaps closer to the sounds that Brahms heard from the traveling bands of gypsy's of his era.

	BBC - Classical Review - Brahms: Violin Concerto, Hungarian Dances, Joseph Swensen/Scottish Chamber Orchestra
		A big symphonic concerto like the Brahms might seem an odd choice for a chamber orchestra, but the string section of the SCO is so good and full-sounding that it has to be the most impressive aspect of this CD.
		You'd expect the concerto to be the highlight of this CD, but it's actually the Hungarian Dances which steal the show in terms of virtuosity and balance.
		Brahms originally wrote them for piano duet and the 14 featured here have been orchestrated by Brahms himself and various other composers, including Dvorák.

		Johannes Brahms’s Hungarian Dances are some of the most popular pieces in the art music repertory, yet they have elicited little scholarly inquiry.
		I show how Brahms’s use of the style hongrois in his Hungarian Dances is a construction of the Gypsy “Other” and a recipe that can be broken down into specific musical ingredients.
		Included is an analysis of each Hungarian Dance, focusing on style hongrois characteristics and their connections to the Gypsy stereotype.

	INKPOT#66 CLASSICAL MUSIC REVIEWS: Cziffra plays Brahms Transcriptions (EMI)
		Brahms's Hungarian Dance No.1 opens with a suitably demure statement of the dark dance theme; at the second line however, when the theme comes back, Cziffra launches into his own improvisatory world proper, and there is no stopping him.
		Yet the sizzling Hungarian gypsy tunes, mostly embodied in minor key melodies, brings a melancholic dark richness to the otherwise flighty dance rhythm.
		Originally written for piano duet, the Hungarian Dances have been orchestrated and transcribed for solo piano by various composers and pianists.

	BRAHMS: Hungarian Dances (complete) - Steven & Stijn Kolacny, piano four hands
		In their 7th disc they take on the tunefuland lively Hungarian Dances - on the score of which Brahms identified himself as the arranger and not the composer.
		At the start of the 20th century Bartok and Kodaly discovered in their folk music research (recording on wax cylinder records) that the tunes which Brahms described as true Hungarian folk songs were not that at all but commercialized gypsy music from the cafes of Vienna.
		In this case i didn’t mind that much the wide-than-real piano reproduction found on most recordings today, because it made it easier to hear the interplay between Part I and Part II on the 88 notes.

		Johannes Brahms' talent was very apparent from the start, attracting many great legends to tutor him in the world of composition.
		It is rumored that Brahms even signed a manifesto against "new music." The way young composers of his time seeked to develop a piece of music that would mark the "new era" disgusted Brahms in every way.

		Very fine and polished, but still enough "dancing" performance, with balanced performances of all dances (there is no one, which could semm worse preformed than others) and very good recording quality, that's why this bargain-priced disc beats lots of recodrings of much more famous orchestras / conductors.
