Learn Hungarian Dance No. 5 by Johannes Brahms on piano with this tutorial! Please enjoy!

Johannes Brahms is one of the most well-known and loved German composers from the Romantic period. His Hungarian Dances (1869) are a set of works that were based on Hungarian themes. Although Hungarian Dance No. 5 is the most famous of the Hungarian Dances, it was actually based on another composition called “Bártfai emlék”, or “Memories of Bártfa”, which Brahms mistakenly identified as a traditional folksong. In reality, it was written by Hungarian composer Béla Kéler.

This solo piano arrangement of Hungarian Dance No. 5 is perfect for pianists of moderate technical ability! It features an oom-pah accompaniment throughout and some of the technical difficulties have been reduced to make it more accessible for pianists with smaller hands who may struggle to strike octaves in succession. It would be a perfect addition to any concert or recital!

Learn these 10 amazing pieces from 1700-1799 on piano with this video! Please enjoy!

You’ve heard the 10 SMASH HITS from the 1600s, but what about the following century? These incredible classical pieces from the 1700s are still performed to this day, with many of them remaining a staple of pop culture. The stories behind these pieces are sometimes on the verge of disbelief: did the Devil come to Tartini in a dream and play a piece for him that he would frantically try to write down, only to be disappointed in his recreation? Did King George really stand in Handel’s Messiah during the chorus of Hallelujah, or was it just him needing to stretch?

If you haven’t heard much music from the Classical period and want to start, these ten pieces, transcribed here for piano, could be a fantastic sampler for you to expand your musical palette! We know you’ll just LOVE these smash hits because they are the best classical pieces, so let us know which ones you knew, and which ones you like the most!

It was released in 1955 under the name “Leningrad Nights” only to be changed, after a request by the Soviet Ministry of Culture, to “Evenings in the Moscow Suburbs.” Moscow Nights has been covered by Vitas, adapted by Alma Deutscher, and covered several times since its release.

Lyrics:
Не слышны в саду даже шорохи,
Всё здесь замерло до утра.
Если б знали вы, как мне дороги
Подмосковные вечера.
Речка движется и не движется,
Вся из лунного серебра.
Песня слышится и не слышится
В эти тихие вечера.

Что ж ты, милая, смотришь искоса,
Низко голову наклоняя?
Трудно высказать и не высказать
Всё, что на сердце у меня.

А рассвет уже всё заметнее.
Так, пожалуйста, будь добра.
Не забудь и ты эти летние
Подмосковные вечера.

English lyrics:
Even whispers aren’t heard in the garden,
Everything has died down till morning.
If you only knew how dear to me
Are these Moscow nights.

The river moves, unmoving,
All in silver moonlight.
A song is heard, yet unheard,
In these silent nights.

Why do you, dear, look askance,
With your head lowered so?
It is hard to express, and hard to hold back,
Everything that my heart holds.

But the dawn’s becoming ever brighter.
So please, just be good.
Don’t you, too, forget
These summer, Moscow nights.

We examined the tweet, automatically sent to us from TeamYouTube about demonetizing us, to see what they were really saying. Did they really think our stuff was unoriginal? This is the danger of running a system by an algorithm and vague rules that cannot be clarified by a human representative.

Thankfully, everything has been resolved and YouTube has apologised for making a mistake and acknowledged that we indeed create original content and arrange our covers by ourselves.

We hope you enjoy this sad version of Rush B, arranged by the wonderful Rafał Bienias!
