Béla Kéler: 6 Csárdás [4 hands]

Csárdás is a traditional Hungarian folk dance, the name derived from csárda (old Hungarian term for tavern). It originated in Hungary and was popularized by Romani music (Cigány) bands in Hungary and neighboring lands of Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Burgenland, Croatia, Ukraine, Russia, Poland, Transylvania and Moravia, as well as among the Banat Bulgarians, including those in Bulgaria. The csárdás is characterized by a variation in tempo: it starts out slowly (lassú) and ends in a very fast tempo (friss, literally "fresh"). There are other tempo variations, called ritka csárdás, sűrű csárdás and szökős csárdás. The dancers are both male and female, with the women dressed in traditional wide skirts, which form a distinctive shape when they whirl.

The first one I just played, the other ones I played back in 2018. Since almost no one remembers that I thought it is handy to have a video of all Czardas by him I played so far.

These pieces are arranged by the composer for piano 4 hands. I played both the primo and secondo and put them together on my PC. Most of the time things are good, but some notes I had to align because they stuck out.
Keler lived 1820-1882.
