Brahms composed 21 Hungarian Dances beginning in 1869. All were composed for piano, but many of them have been orchestrated and are performed by symphony orchestras. They are based on Hungarian folk songs and dances, and No. 5 is the most popular. Standard interpretation includes many tempo changes with the Violin 1 part requiring more advanced technique.

''The four parts of the piece originate from the piano cycles of Johannes Brahms. The identical nature of the themes is implied in their descending direction, while their differences lie in their distinct meters, key signatures and tempo. I further developed the differences through the use of different musical alterations (of melody, rhythm and timbre) while the melodic contours are always constant. Depending on the listener's attention, the melody lines written above one another will be audible separately or appear to be in unison.'' (Balázs Horváth)

''Der Stoff der vier Stimmen des Stückes stammt aus den Klavierzyklen von Johannes Brahms. Die Übereinstimmung liegt in ihrer abwärts tendierenden Richtung, ihr Unterschied hingegen in abweichender Metrik, Tonart und Tempi. Die Unterschiede habe ich mit Hilfe unterschiedlicher musikalischer (melodischer, rhythmischer und tonaler) Veränderungen weitergewoben, während die Struktur der Melodien immer konstant bleibt. Die übereinander gelegten Melodienbögen erklingen abhängig von der Aufmerksamkeit des Hörers teils jede für sich, teils eine Einheit bildend.'' (Balázs Horváth).
