About Suzuki Method
The Suzuki Method is based on the principle that all children possess ability and that this ability can be developed and enhanced through a nurturing environment. All children learn to speak their own language with relative ease and if the same natural learning process is applied in teaching other skills, these can be acquired as successfully. Suzuki referred to the process as the Mother Tongue Method and to the whole system of pedagogy as Talent Education. The important elements of the Suzuki approach to instrumental teaching include the following:an early start (aged 3-4 is normal in most countries); the importance of listening to music; learning to play before learning to read; -the involvement of the parent; a nurturing and positive learning environment; a high standard of teaching by trained teachers; the importance of producing a good sound in a balanced and natural way; core repertoire, used by Suzuki students across the world; social interaction with other children. Suzuki students from all over the world can communicate through the language of music.

'In our flute tutor we have tried to allocate the musical and technical content in such a way as to make the path of development smooth and obstacle-free for beginners. This is a Hungarian tutor that we are publishing. Our aim is that the beginner should first play on his instrument in his musical native language, that of Hungarian folk music. For this reason the majority of the exercises are folk melodies or compositions created in the spirit of folk song. In addition to Hungarian folk music, the volume also contains folk music from other countries, and classical music. Of etudes in the traditional sense of the word we have included only as much as was absolutelyessential...' (Zoltán Jeney) In der vorliegenden Flötenschule waren wir bestrebt, durch gestuftes Aufschlichten des musikalischen und technischen Lehrstoffes den Entwicklungsweg für den Anfänger möglichst leicht und reibungslos zu gestalten. Unsere Absicht war eine moderne, den heutigen Erfordernissen entsprechende Flötenschule zusammenzustellen. Eben deshalb sind die Übungen größtenteils Volksliedbearbeitungen oder Kompositionen, die im Geiste der Volksmusik geschaffen wurden. Neben den Volksliedern ist aber auch der klassischen Musik entsprechender Raum gelassen worden. Etüden in altem Sinne des Wortes bringen wir nur in unbedingt notwendigem Ausmaße. Die Übungen sind in ihrer überwiegenden Mehrzahllebendige Musik, musikalisch anspruchsvolle, sorgfältig geformte Werke, deren Verfasser zu den besten ungarischen Komponisten zählen.

The Flute ABC is the work of flautist and flute teacher Vilmos Bantai, who died not long ago. Earlier it was circulated in manuscript, but now the widow of the artist, Eva Sipos, herself a music teacher of international renown, has completed it for publication. Folksongs of different nationalities and children's songs help greatly with learning the new notes. The musical material of the volume is compiled so that it links directly with the next stage, the first volume of the time-tested Flute Method by Zoltan Jeney (Z. 5457).

Known internationally for superior flute editions, Robert Stallman continues his considerable expansion of the flute repertoire with re-creations, or “new†works for flute by Bach, Mozart, Schubert, Beethoven, Chopin, Dvořák, and other great composers.Conceived originally as a work for solo piano, this arrangement of Dvořák’s Suite in A Major for flute and piano is based on both the piano and orchestra versions. It is one in a series of Stallman’s “new†works for flute. Dvořák composed the Suite in A Major in 1894, inspired by his happy and fruitful stay in the “New World†—a period that produced some of his greatest works, full of thematic freshness, raw energy and folk influences, both American and Old World Czech. The “New World†Symphony, Cello Concerto, “American†Quartet, String Quintet in E≤ Major, the Violin Sonatina and this A Major Suite are all cut from the same musical cloth—textured with his personal impressions of the Wild West’s fascinating Indian and Afro-American music, its God-fearing and friendly people, its vast open spaces and its awe-inspiring natural beauty.PrefaceConceived originally as a work for solo piano, the Suite in A Major was composed by Dvořák in 1894, during his famous two-year visit to the United States. He wrote the work in a mere ten days, and a year later made a full orchestration of it. The Suite was first performed in this second version in 1910 in Prague at the Rudolfinum. Dvořák, who died in 1904, never had a chance to hear a performance of this stirring orchestral realization.The Suite was inspired by the composer’s happy and fruitful stay in the “New Worldâ€, especially by his unforgettable summers spent in the quiet Czech-American village of Spillville, Iowa—a period that produced some of his greatest works, full of thematic freshness, raw energy and folk influences, both American and Old World Czech. The “New World†Symphony, Cello Concerto, “American†Quartet, String Quintet in Eb Major, the Violin Sonatina and this A Major Suite are all cut from the same musical cloth—textured with his personal impressions of the Wild West’s fascinating Indian and Afro-American music, its God-fearing and friendly people, its vast open spaces and its awe-inspiring natural beauty.Several of the Suite’s affecting melodies find echoes in these other, better known compositions of this American period. Wistful themes abound in all five movements, reflecting Dvořák’s transformative American experience as it found resonance in his own emotions. Contrasting with deeply felt, contemplative passages are Dvořák’s joyous and tempestuous expressions, which open the second, third and final movements.This arrangement for flute and piano is based on both the piano and orchestra versions. It is one in a series of my “new†works for flute by some of our greatest composers and I am delighted to add it to the collection. I predict that the A Major Suite will become a popular addition to our Romantic recital repertoire, much like the Dvořák Sonatina.—Robert StallmanMarblehead, Mass.June 1, 2018.

From 1906 on Béla Bartók was collecting folksongs on a regular basis. It was in 1907, during his first collecting trip to Transylvania, that he jotted down those three melodies in Gyergyóteker patak, Cs k, which he both provided with piano accompaniment (From Gyergyó) and arranged for solo piano (Three Hungarian Folksongs from Cs k) in the same year. The melodies were played by a ''sixty-year old man'' on a peasant flute. In 2015 we are launching a series entitled Bartók Transcriptions for Music Students to mark the 70th anniversary of the composer s death. This involves reissuing our tried publications, and publishing some further, new transcriptions that fulfill in every respectthe strict aesthetic demands of the earlier ones. We trust these publications will allow us to introduce still more music students to the realm of one of the great geniuses of 20th-century music.
