They are among Brahms' most popular works, and were certainly the most profitable for him. Each dance has been arranged for a wide variety of instruments and ensembles. Brahms originally wrote the version for piano four-hands and later arranged the first 10 dances for solo piano.[2]<br /><br />Only numbers 11, 14 and 16 are entirely original compositions. The most famous Hungarian Dance is No. 5 in F♯ minor (G minor in the orchestral version)[citation needed], but even this dance was based on the csárdás by Kéler Béla titled "Bártfai emlék" which Brahms mistakenly thought was a traditional folksong.[<br /><br /><iframe width="459" height="344" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/15krb51wvBw?fs=1" frameborder="0" allowFullScreen=""></iframe><br /><br />Gil the Instrument LoverAnonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11664733870438021347noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5520397012817150146.post-63955819369045086922012-01-31T16:16:00.001-05:002012-01-31T16:16:43.097-05:00I Dream of Love (Sueno de Amor) on accordionthis is a very beautiful song please comment<br /><br /><iframe width="459" height="344" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/yWHKzni-5cI?fs=1" frameborder="0" allowFullScreen=""></iframe><br /><br />Gil the Instrument LoverAnonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11664733870438021347noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5520397012817150146.post-59391744842411889402012-01-31T16:16:00.000-05:002012-01-31T16:16:08.430-05:00Black Eyes (Ojos Negros) on accordionThe lyrics of the song were written by the Ukrainian poet and writer Yevhen Hrebinka. The first publication of the poem was in Literaturnaya gazeta on 17 January 1843.<br /><br />The words were subsequently set to Florian Hermann's Valse Hommage[1] (in an arrangement by S. Gerdel') and published as a romance on 7 March 1884.<br /><br />Although often characterised as a Russian gypsy song, the words and music were written respectively by a Ukrainian poet and a German composer: Florian Hermann. Additionally, Hermann's melody bears noticeable resemblance to portions of the Concerto in Esf by Franz Anton Hoffmeister. Feodor Chaliapin popularised the song abroad in a version amended by himself.<br /><iframe width="459" height="344" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/wXO1BVUQB7c?fs=1" frameborder="0" allowFullScreen=""></iframe><br /><br />Gil the Instrument LoverAnonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11664733870438021347noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5520397012817150146.post-47346370261137453792012-01-31T16:15:00.000-05:002012-01-31T16:15:36.324-05:00The Carnival of Venice (El carnaval de Venecia) on accordionThe Carnival of Venice, is a folk tune[1] popularly associated with the words "My hat, it has three corners." A series of theme and variations have been written for solo trumpet, as "show off" pieces that contain virtuosic displays of double and triple tonguing, and fast tempos.<br /><br />Many variations on the theme have been written, most notably those by Jean-Baptiste Arban, Del Staigers, Herbert L. Clarke for the cornet, trumpet, Euphonium, Francisco Tarrega and Johann Kaspar Mertz for classical guitar, and Ignace Gibsone for piano. Chopin's "Souvenir de Paganini", dedicated to the composer and violin virtuoso Niccolò Paganini, is as well a variation on this theme. A more recent piece making use of the theme, by Allen Vizzutti, called "The Carnival of Venus," is regarded as one of the most difficult trumpet pieces ever written due to range and technical demands.[citation needed]<br /><br />The piece has also been arranged for tuba, notably played by John Fletcher (tubist) and available on the CD The Best of Fletch. Also Roger Bobo (Tubist) on Tuba Libera (cd). Another tubist whose performance of the piece is noteworthy is Øystein Baadsvik, a Norwegian tubist.<br /><br />And is also played on accordion!!<br /><br /><iframe width="459" height="344" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/jH5cYJ0Qs2g?fs=1" frameborder="0" allowFullScreen=""></iframe><br /><br />Gil the Instrument LoverAnonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11664733870438021347noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5520397012817150146.post-43580634583726740832012-01-31T16:14:00.000-05:002012-01-31T16:14:27.325-05:00Waves of Danube (Olas De Danubio) on accordion"Waves of the Danube" (Romanian: Valurile Dunării; German: Donauwellen; French: Flots du Danube; Russian: Дунайские Волны)[1] is a waltz composed by Iosif Ivanovici (1845--1902) in 1880, and is one of the most famous Romanian tunes in the world. In the United States, it is frequently referred to as "The Anniversary Song",[2] a title given by Al Jolson when he and Saul Chaplin released an adaptation of the song in 1946.[1] "The Anniversary Song" is sometimes confusingly referred to as "The Anniversary Waltz", which is actually the name of a completely unrelated song. As "Waves of the Danube", the song is also confused with the more famous Danube tune "The Blue Danube" by Johann Strauss II.<br /><br />And played by me on Accordion!<br /><br /><iframe width="459" height="344" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/tAfAT1R6fyk?fs=1" frameborder="0" allowFullScreen=""></iframe><br /><br />Gil the Instrument LoverAnonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11664733870438021347noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5520397012817150146.post-73052155669516208642012-01-10T09:36:00.000-05:002012-01-10T09:36:22.316-05:00<a name='more'></a><br />
