Brahms of course
1863
The ragtime dance
The "mystery composer" you are asking about is Johannes Brahms, although it is stretching a point to say that Brahms took older forms and styles and redefined them in a "modern" way.Brahms certainly had his own voice, but no musicologist I have ever heard of would describe Brahms as an "innovator". He used existing forms in fresh ways, yes - but that's originality, not innovation - they are two different things. Brahms was a fine composer, but he was no trailblazer. His First symphony - and it is magnificent - was called "Beethoven's Tenth" for a reason.
I believe the Hungarian Dance you are referring to was written by Brahms. However, there were other pieces by the same name composed by other composers.
Brahms's most famous piece is the Lullaby, but Hungarian Dance No. 5 is pretty famous too.
His father Jakob was a freelance bass and wind player in Hamburg who played in local taverns and dance halls, and later in the Hamburg Philharmonic Society. His mother Johanna, was a skilled seamstress and seventeen years older than Jakob. The family had financial troubles, and moved frequently as a result.

He is most commonly associated with Renaissance Dance music.
