Johannes Brahms : Hungarian Dance no.5

Johannes Brahms (biography)

1833 , Hamburg

1897 , Vienna

German composer and pianist. Wrote four symphonies, each a masterpiece and many piano and chamber works.

1869

This piece comes from a set of 21 lively dance tunes based mostly on Hungarian themes. All of his dances were composed for the piano. Brahms wrote orchestral arrangements for No. 1, No. 3 and No. 10. Other composers have orchestrated the other dances.

Number 5 was based on the csardas by Keler Bela titled "Bartfai emlek" which Brahms mistakenly thought was a traditional folksong.
