Written in the style of a spirited Czardas, a traditional Hungarian folk dance, Intermezzo is the fifth movement of the Hary Janos Suite, drawn from the opera of the same name. Full of life and endless energy, the music instantly grabs the audiences attention, cheering the spirit with driving rhythms and dynamic themes. An impressive addition to any concert, the work is a worthy upper-level showpiece for spring contests. (4:30)
