Béla Bartók (1881-1945) is widely acknowledged as one of the most distinguished and influential composer of the twentieth century. Born in Hungary to a musical family, he became a leading international concert pianist and educator, studying and later teaching at the Budapest Royal Academy of Music. A pioneering ethnomusicologist, Bartók collected thousands of folk songs during his travels across central Europe. Their influence can be traced throughout his compositional canon including such seminal concert works as Violin Concerto No 2 (1937-38) and Concerto for Orchestra (1943).
The Boosey & Hawkes Bartók Edition brings together selected highlights from the composer's works for solo piano including Romanian Folk Dances (19156) und Romanian Christmas Carols (1915) as well as pedagogical masterpieces Mikrokosmos (1926-1937) and For Children (1908-09, revised 1943) in brand new arrangements by Hywel Davies for solo instruments and ensembles. Each arrangement has been carefully crafted to faithfully reflect the style and structure of Bartók's original work and brings this repertoire to a new generation of developing musicians for the very first time.
Béla Bartók (1881-1945) gilt als einer der herausragenden und einflussreichsten Komponisten des 20. Jahrhunderts. Aufgewachsen als Sohn einer musikalischen Familie in Ungarn, entwickelte er sich zu einem führenden internationalen Konzertpianisten und Musiklehrer, der an der Musikakademie in Budapest zunächst lernte und später selbst lehrte. Als ein Vorreiter auf dem Gebiet der Musikethnologie sammelte Bartók während seiner Reisen durch Zentraleuropa tausende Volkslieder. Deren Einflüsse lassen sich in seinem gesamten kompositorischen Schaffen nachverfolgen, einschließlich solch bahnbrechender Konzertstücke wie das Violinkonzert Nr. 2 (1937-38) und das Konzert für Orchester (1943).
The Boosey & Hawkes Bartók Edition bietet ausgewählte Highlights aus Bartóks Klavierwerk, darunter Romanian Folk Dances (19156) und Romanian Christmas Carols (1915), sowie einige Meisterstücke aus den pädagogischen Werken Mikrokosmos (1926-1937) und For Children (1908-09, revidiert 1943). Alle Stücke der Sammlung wurden dabei von Hywel Davies für das jeweilige Instrument behutsam neu bearbeitet, um den Stil und die Struktur der Originalwerke so getreu wie möglich einzufangen. So kann dieses wunderbare Repertoire einer neuen Generation fortgeschrittener Instrumentalist:innnen erstmals nähergebracht werden.
