1853 — when an exile violinist offloaded Roma dance vocabulary at Hamburg

Eastern European Roma vernacular dance idiom carried by Hungarian exile violinist Eduard Reményi—lassú (slow) / friss (fast) tempo swings and melancholic melody that seeded Brahms’s bodily rhythm. Playback is a violin performance of the same csárdás vocabulary.
