Johannes Brahms : Hungarian Dances no. 1–21

Piano Duet (1 Piano, 4 Hands) – Romantic Period

Description:

Johannes Brahms's Hungarian Dances no. 1–21 are among his most popular and recognized works. Published in two books, these pieces are based on authentic Hungarian and Gypsy melodies and rhythms which Brahms had gathered and arranged for piano four-hands. They became an instant international success. This G. Henle Urtext edition presents the complete collection, offering the definitive scholarly text for all 21 dances. The edition is expertly edited by Walter Georgii and features fingerings by him, providing invaluable guidance for coordinated performance. This volume is an essential piece of repertoire for piano duettists of all levels.

Product Features:

• Complete Collection: Includes all 21 of the original Hungarian Dances (WoO 1), which Brahms transcribed himself for four-hands.
• Authentic Folk Music: The dances are based on authentic Hungarian and Gypsy melodies, capturing a vibrant and passionate national style.
• Authoritative Urtext Edition: Edited by Walter Georgii, this edition provides a reliable and accurate musical text for performers.
• Expert Fingering: Includes fingerings by Georgii, aiding students and performers in navigating the often virtuosic and intricate duet texture.

Performance Tips:

To perform the Hungarian Dances, pianists must fully embrace the characteristic rubato, or rhythmic flexibility, typical of Hungarian folk music. The music demands strong rhythmic energy, especially in the fast (Czardas) sections, often requiring a sharp, percussive touch. Conversely, the slow sections (lassú) need to be played with deep lyrical expression and a powerful, singing tone. Coordination between the two players is paramount to manage the sudden changes in tempo and mood, creating a thrilling and authentic performance.

Contents:

• Hungarian Dances, Book I (Nos. 1–10)
• Hungarian Dances, Book II (Nos. 11–21)

About the Composer & Editor:

Johannes Brahms (1833–1897) was a German composer of the Romantic era. He was deeply inspired by folk music, and his arrangements of the Hungarian Dances were instrumental in launching his international career. Walter Georgii (1888–1967) was a distinguished German pianist and pedagogue, known for his work in compiling and editing pedagogical collections that are both musically sound and accessible to students. He provided both the editing and fingering for this authoritative volume.

約翰內斯・布拉姆斯 : 匈牙利舞曲 第1號至第21號

鋼琴四手聯彈（單鋼琴）– 浪漫時期

簡介:

約翰內斯・布拉姆斯（Johannes Brahms）的《匈牙利舞曲 第1號至第21號》是他最受歡迎且最廣為人知的作品之一。這些舞曲分兩冊出版，以布拉姆斯收集和改編的道地匈牙利和吉普賽旋律與節奏為基礎，一經發表便立即在國際上大獲成功。這份G. Henle原典版收錄了全部21首舞曲的完整曲集，提供了權威性的學術文本。樂譜由瓦爾特·喬爾吉（Walter Georgii）專業編訂並提供指法，為協調一致的演奏提供了無價的實用指導。本樂譜是鋼琴四手聯彈曲目中不可或缺的教材。

產品特點:

• 完整的曲集: 收錄了全部21首原創的匈牙利舞曲（WoO 1），皆為布拉姆斯親自改編的四手聯彈版本。
• 地道的民族音樂: 舞曲以道地的匈牙利和吉普賽旋律為基礎，捕捉了充滿活力與熱情的民族風格。
• 權威原典版: 由瓦爾特·喬爾吉編訂，此版本提供了可靠且準確的音樂文本。
• 專家指法: 包含喬爾吉提供的指法，有助於學生和演奏者駕馭這些充滿炫技性且複雜的連彈織體。

演奏提示:

演奏《匈牙利舞曲》時，鋼琴家必須充分體現匈牙利民謠特有的 rubato（彈性速度）。音樂要求強勁的節奏能量，特別是在快速的「查爾達什」（Czardas）樂段，往往需要銳利、敲擊感的觸鍵。相反地，慢速（lassú）樂段則需要深刻的抒情表現和強勁、如歌的音色。兩位演奏者之間的協調至關重要，以管理速度和情緒的突然變化，從而創造出激動人心且真實的表演。

收錄曲目:

• 匈牙利舞曲，第一冊（第1-10號）
• 匈牙利舞曲，第二冊（第11-21號）
