Johannes Brahms was born in Hamburg in 1833 and died in Vienna in 1897. Brahms published his Hungarian Dances in two sets: Dances 1-10 appeared in 1869 while Dances 11-21 appeared in 1880. Numbers 11, 14 and 16 are probably wholly original; the remainder is arrangements Brahms made of published Hungarian melodies or melodies he collected himself. Brahms originally arranged them for piano four-hands, and all were premiered at private gatherings by Brahms and Clara Schumann at the pianos in the year each set was published.

The stature of Johannes Brahms among classical composers is well illustrated by his inclusion among the "Three Bs" triumvirate of Bach, Beethoven, and Brahms. Of all the major composers of the late Romantic era, Brahms was the one most attached to the Classical ideal as manifested in the music of Haydn, Mozart, and especially Beethoven; indeed, Hans von Bülow once characterized Brahms' Symphony No. 1 (1855-1876) as "Beethoven's Tenth." As a youth, Brahms was championed by Robert Schumann as music's greatest hope for the future; as a mature composer, Brahms became for conservative musical journalists the most potent symbol of musical tradition, a stalwart against the "degeneration" represented by the music of Wagner and his school. Brahms' symphonies, choral and vocal works, chamber music, and piano pieces are imbued with strong emotional feeling, yet take shape according to a thoroughly considered structural plan.
