While originally conceived as piano duets, Johannes Brahms' Hungarian Dances (Op. 39) have been transcribed for various instrumental ensembles, including the orchestral version provided by the composer himself. In this edition, outstanding Hungarian guitarist Jozsef Eotvos has transcribed all twenty-one of the dances for solo guitar, in standard notation only with suggested fingerings. While many of these transcriptions lie well on the fretboard, this volume is recommended for the advanced classic guitarist.

Sixteen Waltzes, Opus 39, written by Johannes Brahms in 1865 for piano four hands were popular even in Brahms's time. The Waltz in A Major, Opus 39 No. 15, which Brahms's arranged for solo piano in the key of A-flat, remains popular to this day. This arrangement for guitar maintains the original key of A major while drawing upon the harmonic and textural elements of the solo piano version. Includes 3-page score with tablature, plus 2-page guitar part without tabs.
