Ruralia hungarica
Ruralia hungarica is a name given by the Hungarian composer Ernő Dohnányi to four interrelated works.
First came the version for solo piano, a suite containing 7 movements, Op. 32a, in 1923:
- I. Allegretto, molto tenero
- II. Presto, ma non tanto
- III. Andante poco moto, rubato
- IV. Vivace
- V. Allegro grazioso
- VI. Adagio non troppo
- VII. Molto vivace.
- I. Andante poco moto, rubato
- II. Presto, ma non tanto
- III. Allegro grazioso
- IV. Adagio non troppo
- V. Molto vivace.
Dohnányi also arranged the "Gypsy Andante" from Op. 32c for cello and piano, as Op. 32d. There is also an arrangement of Op. 32d for cello and harp, and cello and orchestra.
The term "Gypsy Andante" is sometimes also applied to the Adagio non troppo movement of the orchestral suite.
