In the years preceding World War I, Hungarian composer, pianist, and ethnomusicologist Béla Bartók (1881-1945) took trips to the Transylvanian region to explore the musical traditions of the Romanian population. Following a two-year depression caused by the war, as well as some professional setbacks, he returned to composition. The Romanian Folk Dances, Sz. 56, emerged in 1915, bearing a strong influence from his experiences as an ethnomusicologist. They comprise 6 dances, all based on folk tunes that Bartók had recorded and transcribed. In 1917, he arranged a version for full orchestra. Hungarian violinist and composer Zoltán Székely (1903-2001) transcribed these six short movements for violin and piano in 1926, which are offered here in this reprint edition. Movements: 1. Joc cu bâta (Stick Dance), 2. Brâul (Sash Dance), 3. Topogó / Pê-loc (In One Spot), 4. Bucsumí tánc / Buciumeana (Dance from Bucsum), 5. Poarga româneasca (Romanian Polka), 6. Aprózó / Maruntel (Fast Dance).

Bartók's Mikrokosmos has been one of the milestones in pedagogical piano repertoire for 80 years - and yet it is also far more than a classical piano primer. These 153 piano pieces, organized in ascending order of difficulty, engage not only with technical aspects of piano playing but also with the fundamentals of composition - from Imitation and Inversion, Ostinato, and Free Variations, concerning compositional technique, to mood pieces and pieces with programmatic ideas such as Notturno, Boating, From the Diary of a Fly, or the famous Six Dances in Bulgarian Rhythm. Mikrokosmos first appeared in 1940 in six volumes. Based on volume 40 of the Bartók CompleteEdition published in 2020(Z. 15040), the present Urtext edition offers the series gathered in three volumes. This edition includes Bartók's preface, exercises, and notes written for the first edition. Furthermore, it also features a preface and comments by the editor, which not only discuss the genesis and the compositional sources but also provide performers, teachers and pupils alike, with authentic and detailed information about Bartók's notation and the specific performing problems of Mikrokosmos.

Brahms composed 21 Hungarian Dances beginning in 1869. All were composed for piano, but many of them have been orchestrated and are performed by symphony orchestras. They are based on Hungarian folk songs and dances, and No. 5 is the most popular. Standard interpretation includes many tempo changes with the Violin 1 part requiring more advanced technique.

The forerunner of the Bottle Dance was written for the Blue Danube Harmonica Band in the early 1960s. Later, at the instigation of the excellent folk dance choreographer Miklós Manninger, an arrangement for wind band was prepared, in order to widen the ensemble s repertoire of German national pieces by the addition of a Hungarian dance. The production scored a resounding success not only with the audience but also with the musicians who performed in it, with the result that before long the composer prepared from the Bottle Dance an independent work for wind ensemble - a showy piece, virtuosic in its effect yet easily playable. The youth orchestra arrangement is a simplified andshortened version of the work for full-scale orchestra. Antal Farkas (1925-1992) komponierte hauptsächlich für Blasorchester und Bläser-Kammerensembles. Der Flaschentanz gehört zu seinen beliebtesten Werken. Der Vorläufer des Stückes entstand in den frühen 1960er Jahren für Akkordeonorchester. Auf Initiative des ausgezeichneten Volkstanzchoreographen Miklós Manninger fand später auch eine Bearbeitung für Blasorchester statt. Nicht nur beim Publikum, auch bei den ausführenden Musikern hatte das Stück durchschlagenden Erfolg, deshalb komponierte Farkas vom Flaschentanz bald darauf ein eigenständiges - eindrucksvolles, virtuos wirkendes - und dennoch leicht spielbares - Werk für Blasorchester. Die Bearbeitung für Jugendorchesterist eine vereinfachte und verkürzte Fassung der Fassung für großes Orchester. Imprégné des caractéristiques des styles de danses populaires hongroises, Bottle Dance est une oeuvre espiègle, remplie d’effets virtuoses. Les exigences techniques restent néanmoins raisonnables. Devant le succès de sa version originale pour Orchestre d’Harmonica, Antal Farkas a décidé de renouveler l’expérience en réalisant cette version pour Orchestre d’Harmonie. La “danza della bottiglia†fu scritta per la Harmonica Band Danubio Blu all’inizio degli anni ’60. Visto il grande successo della danza fu deciso di crearne un arrangiamento per banda. Bottle Dance si presenta al pubblico come un vero show, con effetti virtuosi e spettacolari.
