About this work
The sixth Hungarian Dance in D-flat major is a Vivace built around the art of stopping and starting again. Fermatas and più ritardando markings interrupt the opening momentum, which is immediately relaunched in tempo. A degree of surprise must remain: if every suspension lasts exactly the same amount, the dance becomes mechanical.
A central Molto sostenuto broadens the line before the initial Vivace returns. Its 123 bars alternate emphatic chords, octaves, quick runs and more connected phrases. The secondo often determines rhythm through basses and chords; the primo adds ornaments and wide shifts. Both players must nevertheless breathe together at every fermata.
Decide who leads each stop and which silent pulse continues during the suspension. Rehearse in-tempo recoveries from the preceding bar rather than counting only at the new entry. Lighten accompaniment and give long values direction in Molto sostenuto. The final Vivace should recover the opening liveliness with more secure, relaxed articulation.
