About "21 Hungarian Dances, WoO 1 (Version for Piano 4 Hands) : Brahms: 21 Hungarian Dances, WoO 1 (Version for Piano 4 Hands): No. 2 in D Minor. Allegro non assai" by Aloys Kontarsky
Hungarian Dance No. 2 in D Minor is a smoldering, syncopated fire. Brahms's four-hand version crackles with gypsy-inflected melancholy—a dance that starts as a whisper and ends in a feverish stomp. The Kontarskys lean into the rubato, making the piano sound almost like a cimbalom weeping and laughing.
