Brahms Hungarian Dance. 2 2
Now this is really a piece of two halves. 3 3
Thirty-two bars long, and 4 4
the second half, bars seventeen through thirty-two are practically the same as 5 5
bars one through sixteen, but just played an octave higher. 6 6
So when you learn the first half, 7 7
you'll be able to play the whole piece, basically. 8 8
Practice hands separately before you try hands together, 9 9
as you should do with all the pieces in this book. 10 10
Let's look at the right hand. 11 11
[MUSIC] 12 12
And then you would play that an octave higher, 13 13
[MUSIC] 14 14
And so on. 15 15
And you can see that it's a Hungarian dance. 16 16
It's meant to be rigid like that. 17 17
It's not meant to be soulful. 18 18
[MUSIC] 19 19
It's meant to be. 20 20
[MUSIC] 21 21
Okay, and the left hand will accentuate that as well. 22 22
Let's look at the left hand. 23 23
And notice on the left hand that everything is pretty much 24 24
under your fingers again, so. 25 25
[MUSIC] 26 26
Keep your thumb on the top of the E. 27 27
[SOUND] And then this is just a scale up A minor. 28 28
[MUSIC] 29 29
And again, just broken A minor chord. 30 30
[MUSIC] 31 31
And again then that would be played up an octave higher. 32 32
So let's try hands together and just keep it nice and slow. 33 33
[MUSIC] 34 34
And at this point, use the same fingering for the repeat pattern. 35 35
[MUSIC] 36 36
Same with the left hand. 37 37
Same fingering. 38 38
[MUSIC] 39 39
And then you play everything up one octave. 40 40
So you're gonna go up to 41 41
[MUSIC] 42 42
And so on until the end of the piece.
