?No opus number? is what Johannes Brahms gave his astonished publisher to understand when he offered him the Hungarian Dances for publication in 1869. He placed a great deal of importance on the factthat he had merely ?set? popular Hungarian melodies and not composed new works as such. As true as this reservation is it did not affect the success of these works. The Hungarian Dances are today withouta doubt amongst Brahms? best-known compositions. Brahms himself made an arrangement of the dances 1 10 originally for Piano four hands for solo Piano. Henle are now publishing a revised version of theseimpressive pieces with the up-to-date text in the new Brahms Complete Edition. Rolf Koenen?s fingerings provide the best possible help for mastering these complex works.

'My most important desire and wish was to one day give my experience with the piano over to each pianist, and future young performer. But I have never seen myself as a teacher in the general meaning of the word. Rather I have seen in myself someone who sheds light, one who directs with a small lamp those similar to himself. My intentions may appear presumptuous to some, but it is what I have found my calling to be. ' - Gyorgy Cziffra. / Classique / Partition / Broché /

The Hungarian Dances were published in three different yet authentic versions during the composer’s lifetime: (1) all 21 dances arranged for Piano duet (2) nos. 1–10 also for solo Piano and (3) nos. 1 3 and 10 as Orchestral arrangements. Now the Wiener Urtext Edition presents both the Piano versions (for 2 and for 4 hands) in new editions and the Piano duet version appears here for the first time in the form of a score i.e. primo and secondo are set as pairs on one page and not as usual separated on facing pages. This layout mirrors that of Brahms’s surviving autograph of versions 1 and 2 but additionally offerssignificant advantages for study and performance: clearer presentation of the entire composition easier orientation no more frantic counting during rests in one part thanks to the easy legibility of the portrait-format music both players can be more “in tune” with each other.

Hungarian Dances Nos. 5 & 6-Johannes Brahms a composé ses Danses hongroises entre 1858 et 1869. Des vingt-et-une danses qu?il écrivit pour piano à quatre mains il n?en orchestra lui-même que quelques-unes ; les autres ayant été transcrites par d?autres compositeurs dont Antonín Dvoøák. Fasciné par la puissance expressive et la fougue de la musique tzigane hongroise Brahms lui emprunta quelques airs et mélodies qu?il noua dans ses danses. Parmi les plus connues on citera les Danses hongroises n° 5 & 6 magistralement arrangées pour Orchestre d?Harmonie par Tohru Takahashi.
