The title of the suite Early Hungarian Dances from Gömör suggests the arrangement and harmonization of dance tunes, but this three-movement cycle is far more than that: in fact, the old court dances that provide the thematic material have been freely thought through and brought to completion. The composer has breathed new life into the 18th-century melodies, as Zoltán Kodály did with the Galanta and Marosszék dances, Antonin Dvo ák with Slav dances, and Johannes Brahms with those of Hungary. The chief virtues of the work are its colourful, varied instrumentation, the tasteful combination of its archaic style with the musical language of our day, and not least the fact thatits every bar is enjoyable to play and easy to listen to.

Der Titel der Suite Alte ungarische Tänze aus Gömör lässt die Bearbeitung und Harmonisierung von Tanzmelodien erahnen, doch der dreisätzige Zyklus ist viel mehr als das: Es ist die freie Weiterentwicklung und Vollentfaltung alter höfischer Tanzmelodien, die den Themenstoff geben. Der Komponist erweckt die Melodien aus dem 18. Jahrhundert in einer Art und Weise, wie das von Zoltán Kodály mit jenen aus Galánta und Marosszék oder von Antonin Dvo ak mit den slawischen oder von Johannes Brahms mit den ungarischen Tänzen gemacht wurde. Die Hauptvorzüge des Werkes sind die bunte und abwechslungsreiche Instrumentierung, die geschmackvolle Verknüpfung des archaisierenden Tons mit derSprache der zeitgenössischen Musik und nicht zuletzt, dass alle Takte gut zu spielen und leicht aufzunehmen sind.
