Beschreibung
Johannes Brahms (1833-1897) composed 21 Hungarian Dances for piano (four
hands), published in two sets in 1869 and 1880, some of which he later
arranged for orchestra. They make use of the popular gypsy (Roma) musical
styles which influenced many 19th-century composers and the dances are mainly
fast and energetic. Hungarian Dance, originally in F sharp minor but
transposed into G minor for orchestra, is probably the most famous of the set
and was quickly arranged for many instrumental ensembles including violin or
cello and piano, string orchestra, brass quintet, recorder quartet, wind band
and even 15 saxophones, percussion and piano. This new arrangement for
double bass quartet was created by David Heyes for his advanced students at
Wells Cathedral in Somerset. Transposed into G minor, the music suits the
bass quartet medium well with effective musical and technical challenges for
each player. Basses 1 and 2 share most of the melodic material and this is a
fun piece which would be ideal as an encore or the final work in a recital.
