First of Brahms' 21 Hungarian Dances, the theme is borrowed from traditional music: four phrases of six measures contained in a perfectly identical rhythm. The tempo is fast: however, the character remains expressive, according to the composer's indication, with crescendo-decrescendo specified eight times. The black dotted-eighth note rhythm cell is almost exclusively used in a two-four measure that can be thought of as one beat. Dark key of G minor, in a low range. (automatic translation)
