For Brahms's Hungarian Dances, what arrangements are published for violin (piano acc.) Are there any solo arr.? Which are well-known & what would you recommend?

Gingold has a few that are quite effective too.
Hubay has arranged them as well...these are much easier than the Joachim arrangemend and are equally as effective.
Hubay also wrote a bunch of his own! They are called "Scenes de la Csardas" and they're lots of fun. :) Hard to find the sheet music though.
#17 was arranged by Kreisler, I believe. There's a beautiful video recording of Szerying playing it on YouTube
Hubay’s arrangement of #2 is available, but the others are out of print. Stainer & Bell offer authorized photocopies of #1 and #3-10 for UK £36 (plus £12 postage to the USA).
The Joachim arranged Hungarian Dances are complete on the CD-ROM "Violin Solos and Duets: The Ultimate Collection".
Kreisler's arrangement of # 17 was also recorded by Heifetz.
Aaron Rosand recorded all of them I believe.
Hagai Shaham as well

August 30, 2006 at 01:59 PM · The only real arrangements for violin and piano are those by Joseph Joachim. Careful though, they're nasty little finger-twisters, and of course you have to make them sound soooo easy, like a real Budapest gypsy....they're great fun though, take a look at them. My favorites are #4 and #11, but they're all really neat. I think there are several editions available.
