Am I wrong? It does sound like four hands. If so, who helped you with the other pair? I liked the second half of the piece, starting bouncing on the chair. :)
In September 1879, Kéler provided a statement to a Hamburg newspaper regarding the situation when listeners at the concerts in the Elbpavillon were often surprised by Kéler's authorship of the Bardejov csardas, which was mistakenly being assigned to Johannes Brahms. "I have noticed with surprise, that whenever I have performed my Hungarian dance Memory of Bardejov, a question arose as to how my name had appeared under the composition, since people generally presume that the composer of this dance is Johannes Brahms. To stand up to this misbelief, which is widely spread throughout the musical world, and in order to protect my copyright, I am forced to declare that I composed this Hungarian dance in 1858 and also first performed it at that time in Debrecen. In the same year, the dance was published as my piano composition opus 31 by the musical publishing house of Ròzsavölgyi & Co. Sometime around the beginning of 1870, i.e., about 12 years later, Mr. Brahms arranged ten different Hungarian dances, among them, as no. 5, also my above-mentioned dance, for a four-handed piano. Although the accolades which Mr. Brahms has received for the arrangements of these Hungarian dances have been recognized in the musical world for a long time, and I, as a Hungarian, appreciate them and value them that much more, it is also necessary to think of the composer of the original melodies according to the old Latin saying: 'Let justice be done, though the world perishes. Béla Kéler, Hamburg, August 1879"

Exactly, an accompaniment is heard from the beginning but only a few thirds can be seen in the score.

@@PavelBurdych extremely interesting
Венгерская музыка изумительна. Брамс это понимал, и что то Штраус в вальсах использовал
