Hungarian Dance No.3

Completed in 1879, Brahms' Hungarian Dances are among the composer's most popular works. They consist in a set of 21 lively dance tunes based mostly on Hungarian themes. The dance No.3, originally written for piano duet, was orchestrated by Brahms himself.

This arrangement for Concert Band is adapted from the composer's orchestration. Contrasting from a light oboe melody, rhythmic low lines answering and a fast central theme, your audience will be charmed by this nice romantic page and the musicians excited to play it.
