Product description
Béla Bartók planned in 1939 to arrange for two violins and three violins his choral works (for egual voices). He was prevented from doing this by his early death. At the request of the Editio Musica Budapest, Endre Szervánszky has undertaken this task in 1971. His arrangements, which we are bringing out in two volumes, offer valuable material both to violin teaching and group music-making.
Béla Bartók (1881-1945), full name Béla Viktor János Bartók, was a Hungarian composer, pianist and and music scientist. He emigrated to the USA in 1940 because of his opposition to Hungarian fascism. Together with Leoš Janáček and Zoltán Kodály, he is one of the composers whose significant source of inspiration was folk music. He is considered one of the most important composers of the 20th century.
