Hungarian Dance
The Hungarian Dances (German: Ungarische Tanze) by Johannes Brahms (WoO 1), are a set of 21 lively dance tunes based mostly on Hungarian themes. (Only numbers 11, 14 and 16 are entirely original compositions.) They vary from about a minute to four minutes in length. They are among Brahms' most popular works, and were certainly the most profitable for him. Each dance has been arranged for a plethora of instruments and ensembles. Brahms originally wrote the version for piano 4 hands and later arranged the first 10 dances for solo piano. He wrote orchestral arrangements for No. 1, No. 3 and No. 10. Other composers, including Antonin Dvorak, orchestrated the other dances. The most famous Hungarian Dance is No. 5 in F-sharp minor (g minor in the orchestral version).

Hungarian dance is a set of Hungarian folkloric dances.
According to George Martin, a prominent folklore expert, Hungarian dances can be divided into two categories. The first layer refers to dances performed in the middle ages. The second category relates to the 18th and 19th century. [1]
