Béla Bartók
Vol. 38 | Works for Piano 1914-1920
This volume contains some of Bartók's core piano works, among them the extremely popular Romanian Folk Dances that are known in various arrangements, the Suite op. 14 and the Sonatina. Several of these compositions are already available in single Urtext editons. This volume contains valuable additional information: The elaborate preface comments on the genesis of the works, their publication and public reception. The following chapter Notation and Performance refers to recordings and affords interesting insight into the composer’s own perception of tempo, phrasing and articulation in these works. The Critical Commentary minutely follows the steady development and consolidation of the compositions that were often created and revised over long periods of time; sketches and early versions are also commented upon. The folk tunes that some of the compositions are based on can be found in a separate appendix including English translations of the texts.
