Of the many works Bartók composed on Hungarian and Romanian folk melodies between 1914 and 1918 these three piano pieces occupy a special place. Originally outlined for the collection 15 Hungarian Peasant Songs (Urtext edition HN 1404) the drafts were left untouched for the next twenty years. Not until 1941 when Boosey and Hawkes asked the composer to contribute to an anniversary album for the great pianist Ignaz Paderewski did Bartók now settled in the United States return to these long since notated piano pieces on the folk music of his homeland and thoroughly revise them.
