Hungarian Dances

Album by Johannes Brahms & Philharmonia Cassovia & Andrew Mogrelia

Hungarian Dances is a set of 21 dance pieces for piano four-hands by Johannes Brahms, composed between 1869 and 1880. Rooted in the Romantic tradition, the pieces draw on Hungarian folk-style melodies and rhythms, featuring lively tempos, syncopation and modal inflections, and their later arrangements for piano and orchestra helped introduce these dances into wider concert repertoire and demonstrate Brahms's engagement with folk-derived material.
First released: 1992
