Product description
A mix of three Hungarian folk songs from the county Csík, arranged for solo piano by Béla Bartók. In the songs, Bartók preserved the rich ornamentation of the flute version he had heard played by folk musicians and added a modal accompaniment to the melodies in a church mode.
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.
