Magyar Tánc No. 5 is Brahms's arrangement of a Hungarian Romani theme that has become one of the most electrifying pieces in the folk-classical repertoire. On a steel tongue drum the urgent repeated notes and fiery descending runs crackle with energy. The driving rhythm and clear melodic shape keep it accessible while the dramatic character makes it thrilling to play. A taste of authentic Hungarian Romani spirit.
How to play Magyar Tánc No. 5 (Hungarian Dance) on a tongue drum
The numbers above are the standard tongue-drum number notation. Each digit is a note of the C Major scale, counting up from the lowest tongue. A dot above a number raises it one octave; a dot below lowers it. The small teal letters show the matching key in the Tongue Drum Online player.
Start slowly, one phrase at a time. Let each note ring out fully before striking the next — the long decay is the whole character of the instrument. This is a easy arrangement and a simplified, single-instrument version of Magyar Tánc No. 5 (Hungarian Dance).
