Composers:- Bartok, Bela
- Szekely, Zoltan
Duration: 6
Description:
In the years preceding World War I, Hungarian composer, pianist, and ethnomusicologist B茅la Bart贸k (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 Bart贸k had recorded and transcribed. In 1917, he arranged a version for full orchestra. Hungarian violinist and composer Zolt谩n Sz茅kely (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 b芒t? (Stick Dance), 2. Br芒ul (Sash Dance), 3. Topog贸 / P锚-loc (In One Spot), 4. Bucsum铆 t谩nc / Buciumeana (Dance from Bucsum), 5. Poarg? rom芒neasc? (Romanian Polka), 6. Apr贸z贸 / M?run?el (Fast Dance).
