About the Score

An Ungaresca is a Hungarian dance that became wildly popular in Western Europe in the 18th-century. The accelerating tempi, chromaticism, florid ornamentation, note repetitions and obsessive rhythms sounded very foreign to the Western world, and many composers of the Romantic era, especially Brahms, tried to emulate it in their compositions. Ungaresca uses these elements of “oreintalism” to create an untamed, ethnic sound.
