Brahms Zigeunerlieder op. 103

By the end of the last century the eleven "Zigeunerlieder" (Gipsy Songs) for four voices and piano by Johannes Brahms had won a place among the favourite pieces for domestic music making in Germany, Austria and Britain. Among Brahms's compositions they are closely akin to the "Liebeslieder Waltzes", the "New Liebeslieder Waltzes" and the "Hungarian Dances".
