Two Brahms Hungarian Dances By Brahms Arr. Stephen Chin

Brahms was inspired by the folk music of Hungary and created his own unique version of 21 Hungarian Dances, which he adapted for two pianos and later for a symphony orchestra. The 1st Dance has a dark and brooding quality that allows the ensemble to focus their bow pressure into the string, producing a rich and powerful tone that captures the essence of the Hungarian spirit. In contrast, the 2nd Dance is full of unexpected changes in tempo and mood, from frantic and frenzied to soft and lyrical. Either one of these dances would be a thrilling and unforgettable finale to any concert, leaving the audience breathless and wanting more.
