Hungarian
composer, pianist and
ethnomusicologist Béla
Bartók (1881-1945)
originally completed the
cycle of 85 short piano
pieces FOR CHILDREN in
1909. Each piece was
based on a folk tune,
with the first 42 being
Hungarian, and the
remaining 43 being
Slovakian. Famed
Hungarian violinist
Joseph Szigeti
(1892-1973) took six of
the Hungarian folk tunes
and transcribed them for
violin and piano. As
Bartók later removed and
revised some of the songs
in the collection, the
following numbers
included are the original
numbers from the 1909
collection: No. 28 -
Parlando, No. 18 -
Andante con moto, No. 42
- Allegro vivace, No. 33
- Andante sostenuto, No.
6 - Allegro, No. 13 -
Andante, No. 38 - Poco
vivace. In addition to
the original, more
difficult violin part he
transcribed originally,
Szigeti also wrote a
simplified version where
only the first to fourth
positions are used. Both
violin versions are
included in this
edition.
