Bartók a composé la Sonatina pour piano solo au cours de son année roumaine en 1915, année au cours de laquelle il a également composé la collection de danses folkloriques roumaines et les chants de Noël roumains. Dans cette pièce pour piano relativement courte (de trois à quatre minutes), le compositeur a utilisé de la musique folklorique instrumentale glanée en Transylvanie. Dans le premier mouvement, Bartók fait apparaître deux cornemuses et, dans le second, un violoniste jouant pour une danse d\'ours. La première édition de la Sonatina a été publiée par Rózsavölgyi en 1919, et le compositeur a créé l\' uvre en 1920 à Pozsony (Bratislava). Cette impression indépendante est basée sur le volume 38 de l\'édition critique complète de Bartók publiée en 2019, dans laquelle Henle Verlag de Munich et Editio Musica Budapest ont publié les uvres pour piano composées entre 1914 et 1920. / Partitions classique / Piano - instruments à clavier / Piano / EMB (Editio Musica Budapest)

Bartók composed the Sonatina for solo piano in his 'Romanian year' of 1915; this was when he also composed the set of Romanian Folk Dances and the Romanian Christmas Carols. In this relatively short piano piece (lasting three to four minutes), the composer used instrumental folk music collected in Transylvania. In the first movement, Bartók conjures up two bagpipes, and, in the second, a fiddler playing for a bear dance. The first edition of the Sonatina was published by Rózsavölgyi in 1919, and the composer premieredthe work in 1920 in Pozsony (Bratislava). This separate print is based on volume 38 of the Bartók Complete Critical Edition published in 2019, in which Henle Verlag of Munichand Editio Musica Budapest published the piano works composed between 1914 and 1920. The musical text is accompanied by a preface in English and Hungarian by László Somfai, and by editorial remarks which not only discuss the sources but also offer practical advice for performers.

Kazimierz Serocki's Sonatina for piano is presented for the first time in print. Composed in 1949, it received an honorable mention at the 2 Fryderyk Chopin Composers' Competition organized by the polish Composers' Union.This three-movement composition, a sonically interesting showpiece, combines folkloric elements with modern musical language. Bold harmonizations, elements of polyphony, especially in the second movement allude to the ideas of Sergei Prokofiev and Bela Bartok. The compositions is the first of Serocki's works to attest to his interest in the folkloric trend, wich continued in his later oeuvre.

'Dances of Transylvania is the orchestral version of 'Sonatina' (1915). In Sonatina, Bartok had arranged Romanian instrumental (chiefly bagpipe) music. The three movements of the work, 'Bagpipers', 'Bear Dance' and 'Finale' comprise five melodies. Bartok explained that each of the two melodies of the first movement had been played by two pipers, the second by a peasant violinist using the lower strings of the instrument to reproduce the sounds of a bear, and the two melodies of the 'Finale' again by two violinists. In the orchestral version Bartok was out to reproduce the original sonority created by the peasants.' (HCD 32505 Bartok New Series Vol. 5, Virag Buky).

Bagpipers is the first movement of the three-movement Sonatina composed in 1915 (1. Bagpipers, 2.Bear Dance and 3. Finale). The composer said of the piece, ''Originally I planned a group of Romanianfolk dances for piano. I selected three parts of this and called it Sonatina. The first movement, Bagpipers[...] consists of two dances played by two bagpipers.'' The piece is based on a couple dance fromTransylvania, the ardeleana (also known as the kanászos), while the middle section was inspired bythe bagpipe playing of a middle-aged man recorded by Bartók in Váncsfalva (now Oncesti) of Bihar County during February 1910. In 1931, Bartók arranged it for symphony orchestraunder the title Dances from Transylvania. This arrangement for oboe and piano was made by Liszt Prize-winningoboist Tibor Szeszler (1919 1992).
