The Hungarian Dances

Album by Johannes Brahms & Katia & Marielle Labèque

The Hungarian Dances are a set of 21 dance pieces for piano four hands by Johannes Brahms, first published in 1869. Drawing on Hungarian folk rhythms and characteristic melodic turns, they display Brahms's command of rhythmic vitality and thematic invention and occupy a notable place in his output as pieces frequently arranged for orchestra and other ensembles.
