National folk dance and the music style of Hungary, Csárdás, is a courting dance for the couples in traditional folk costumes. It begins with a slow section, followed by an exhilarating fast section. The music is mostly played by a Gypsy orchestra. The Csárdás developed in the 19th century from an earlier folk dance, and the word „Csárdás“ usually means „Innkeeper“. The name derived from csárda which is an old Hungarian term for the tavern.
Emmerich Kálmán, Franz Liszt, Johannes Brahms, Leo Delibes, Johann Strauss and Pablo de Sarasate are just some of classical composers who have used csárdas themes in their works. It is important to mention also the most famous example of this dance in vocal music which is csárdas from Strauss operetta: Die Fliedermaus. (Bat)
Mark Rózsavölgyi, also known as „the father of csárdás“, was a Hungarian composer and violinist. Almost ten years living in Vienna, Bratislava, and Prague where he worked as a clerk, he dedicated himself to music, composing in the Hungarian traditional styles. In January 1848 Rózsavölgyi died and left an unforgettable part of Hungarian history behind him.
