Description

Brahms masterfully encapsulated the vibrant spontaneity and fervor of Hungarian gypsy music in his 21 Hungarian Dances. This particular volume, featuring dances 11-21, has been meticulously edited by Carol Ann Bell and Digby Bell, who have examined all existing autograph manuscripts of the duet, solo, and orchestral versions. They have also compared these with the earliest printed editions, resulting in a comprehensive and scholarly collection of these works. The volume includes performance notes, practical fingering suggestions, ornament realizations, and extensive historical context, making it an invaluable resource. It is also recognized as a selection for the Federation Festivals 2020-2024.
