In composing the music for his Hungarian dances, Johannes Brahms made use of the Hungarian folk songs he had heard. These are based on the Hungarian dance Czardas, which usually consists of two parts, the one melancholy, the other wild and passionate, reflecting respectively the Magyar and Gypsy spirit.

I used video clips from the ballet Coppelia to go with the music: the sublime Pas de Deaux for the somber parts and the sprightly solo dances for the speedy parts.
