BRAHMS – Hungarian Dance No 6 – TRIO CLARINET, CELLO AND PIANO

Other Identification:
Johannes Brahms’s Hungarian Dances are a collection of 21 lively pieces for piano, based primarily on Hungarian and Romani folk music, and are among his most popular works. First published in two sets in 1869 and 1880, they were originally written for piano four-hands and were highly successful and profitable for Brahms. The pieces have since been arranged for solo piano and a wide variety of orchestras, with some of the orchestrations completed by Brahms himself and others by his colleagues like Antonín Dvořák.

The dances helped to popularize Hungarian and Romani music in Western European concert halls and influenced other composers, such as Dvořák, to use folk music in their compositions.
Movements or sections:
While Brahms referred to them as arrangements rather than original compositions, some of the dances contain a significant amount of original material in addition to the folk melodies he used. The first 16 dances were written for piano four-hands, and the last 5 for solo piano.

Johannes Brahms’s Hungarian Dance No. 6 is an energetic piece in \(D\flat \) major, originally written for piano four-hands in 1869. In its orchestral form it features a contrast between quiet woodwind passages and loud tutti sections, a subdued second theme with Hungarian folk roots, and a vibrant, sometimes harsh, melodic quality. The piece concludes with a brief recap of the opening theme and a final pair of chords.
