With all due respect: Are you sure, that you are out for Hungarian March #5?

In classsical contexts I know only of one "Hungarian March", the one also called Rakoczy March from Hector Berlioz’ The Damnation of Faust.

Brahms wrote a number of Hungarian Dances for piano alone. They have been issued in a plentitude of arrangements. If memory serves me, the #5 is the one, that was used by Chaplin in the movie, where he acts as a barber. Extremely funny, but maybe not exactly in the way Brahms had intended.
