Brahms wrote 21 Hungarian Dances for piano four-hands. Each one is highly individualistic and features slow and fast sections -- in this arrangement, D major is used in the slow opening and closing sections, while the fast middle section is in B minor. Violins have some limited divisi parts, and melodic material is given to the inner voices and cellos in the fast section. Duration 1:15.
