Description:

Originally written for piano four hands in 1879, Hungarian Dances (WoO 1), a set of 21 lively dance tunes mostly based on Hungarian themes, are among Johannes Brahms� (1833-1897) most popular works today.  They have been arranged for many different instruments and ensembles over the years.  In 1850, Brahms was introduced to �gypsy-style� music through Hungarian violinist Ede Rem�nyi, including the cs�rd�s �B�rtfai eml�k� (Memories of B�rtfa) by Hungarian composer B�la K�ler, which became the basis for Hungarian Dance No. 5.  Hungarian Dance No. 9 in E Minor, here orchestrated by Sam Dennison, playfully collides fast and slow tempos into each other, inspired by the military recruiting dances performed for the Hapsburg Emperors in the mid-nineteenth century. Instrumentation: 2+Picc.2+EH.2+BCl.2+CBsn: 4.3.3.1: Timp.Perc(1): Str (9-8-7-6-5 in set).
