Brahms J. - Hungarian Dances 1-10

The definitive playing edition of Brahms's complete works for four-hand piano. Reprinted from the Complete Works edition of the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde Vienna. Edited by Eusebius Mandyczewski.

This treasury of 38 works for solo piano spanning forty years of Brahms' long and prolific life includes the famous 'Edward' ballade; two capriccios; seven Hungarian Dances in the composer's own transcriptions for solo piano; six intermezzos; three rhapsodies; the complete sixteen waltzes op. 39; Sonata no. 3 the best known and most mature of Brahms' three piano sonatas; and the complete books of two legendary works the Variations and Fugue on a Theme by Handel and the celebrated and dramatic Variations on a Theme by Paganini. Sometimes termed the 'Romantic Classicist' Brahms successfully merged the seemingly contradictory qualities of romanticism and classicism blending poetry with elegance balance and restraint. A fine inexpensive compilation of piano classics reproduced from authoritative scores this volume will delight intermediate and advanced pianists.

Hungarian Dances: Volume 1 contains 10 of Johannes Brahms 21 Hungarian Dances that really capture the passion of Hungarian gypsy music. Performance notes helpful fingering suggestions ornament realizations and a wealth of historical background are also provided with this fantastic book of traditional Hungarian Dances.

Mon désir plus important et le souhait était un jour donner mon expérience avec l'interprète de jeune Piano au-dessus de chaque pianiste et l'avenir. Mais je n'ai jamais vu moi-même comme enseignant dans le sens général du terme. Plutôt je vois en moi quelqu'un qui met en lumière, celui qui dirige avec une petite lampe ces semblable à lui-même. Mon intention peut paraître présomptueuse de certains, mais c'est ce que j'ai trouvé ma vocation à être. Georges Cziffra / Piano / Cd
