csardas (hungary)

going all eastern europe on this project now
finding a youtube clip to associate with songlines 50 rhythms of the world
the clip below came up on top of the list when searching for csardas
that seems to be the title of the very familiar piece
so i assume it is also representative of the rhythm in question
this is a a youtube video of excellent quality
there is some exceptional musicianship on display here
4 musicians very much in control of their instruments
and looking like they have been doing it for a long time
even the conductor of the waiting orchestra seems impressed
looks like the 4 piece were guests at the concert
maybe doing the national anthem or something
or a touch of nationalism at an orchestral night perhaps
as the songlines text indicates below about csardas
a traditional csardas tune starts slow and ends up fast
so if only for that reason i think this is a fine example
