Song(s) of the Week!

This week’s first FFR Song of the Week is called Hungarian Dance #5, by Brahms. It’s a famous upbeat classical piece from the mid 1800′s that’s been featured in movies, TV, cartoons, and commercials for years–you’ve probably heard it before. Difficulty is moderate, and it should be fun for players of all skill levels, from the relative newbies to the veterans.

And yeah, this is not a senseless wall of rising arrows like EHHS was, don’t worry Hungarian Dance #5 can be found in the Classical genre of FFR (the game).
