The Hungarian Rondo by Árpád Balázs is a cheerful, good-humored composition structured with a double recurrence of the rondo theme. The first episode consists of increasingly densely woven imitations that chase each other playfully, and the second evokes the mood of bagpipe tunes. In brilliant and skilled fashion, each subsequent section becomes more richly orchestrated and decorative in nature. (Grade 3.5) Duration: 3:00.
