When Brahms toured Germany as an accompanist for the violinist Eduard Reményi (1830-1898), he became acquainted with Romani folk music. Believing it to be Hungarian folk music, he decided to transcribe and arrange it for publication. Of this collection, arranged for piano four-hands, an attempt was first made to publish six pieces by Simrock in 1867, but this was unsuccessful. Two years later, in 1869, Nos. 1-10, comprising two sets, were published and met with great success.
Later, in 1880, Nos. 11-21, also comprising two sets, were published, forming the now-known collection of 21 "Hungarian Dances." In 1872, Nos. 1-10 were arranged by Brahms himself for solo piano and published (see "10 Hungarian Dances").
Although often performed by orchestra, only Nos. 1, 3, and 10 were orchestrated by Brahms himself, specifically for a concert conducted by Brahms in Leipzig on February 5, 1874.
Orchestrations of the other numbers have been undertaken by various conductors and composers, with those by Dvořák (1841-1904) for Nos. 17-21 being particularly noteworthy. Furthermore, Joseph Joachim (1831-1907), a violinist and friend of Brahms, arranged some for violin and piano duo, and Fritz Kreisler (1875-1962), also a violinist, is well-known for his duo arrangement of No. 17.
It is well-known that Brahms was involved in a lawsuit with Reményi concerning the "Hungarian Dances." This clearly shows that even in an era when the modern concept of copyright had not yet been established, composers already had an awareness of the rights to their works. Fortunately, in this lawsuit, Brahms prevailed because the collection was deemed an "arrangement" rather than an "original creation."
