The 10 easy pieces adapted from piano pieces from the famous collection For Children offer an ideal approach to modern music. Numerous school orchestras have played this music with fun and success. Because the individual parts are technically easy, one may concentrate at once on interpretational subtleties (rubato, articulation, tonal nuances etc.).

In 1916, as part of the series Az elemi zongorajáték gyakorlati tananyaga [Practical Repertory for Elementary Piano Playing], Rózsavölgyi & Co. published Bartók's selection of twelve pieces from the collection usually given the title Notenbüchlein für Anna Magdalena Bach. A revised 1923 edition added one more piece. The contents of our edition are an identical reprint of the 1923 version, including Bartók's in-depth preface in both Hungarian and German and the footnotes he added to the individual pieces (also provided here in an English translation).Johann Sebastian Bach gave his second wife Anna Magdalena two manuscript music-books which contain, besides his own works,compositions by other contemporaries. The present selection includes 13 pieces from the second book (dated to 1725). In der beim Budapester Musikverlag Rózsavölgyi & Co. erschienenen Reihe Az elemi zongorajáték gyakorlati tananyaga [Praktischer Lehrstoff des elementaren Klavierspiels] wurde 1916 eine aus 12 Stu cken bestehende Auswahl Béla Bartóks aus der unter dem Titel Notenbu chlein fu r Anna Magdalena Bach bekannten Sammlung veröffentlicht. Deren im Jahre 1923 veröffentliche revidierte Ausgabe wurde durch ein weiteres Stu ck ergänzt.

An Evening in the Village was composed in 1908 as no. 5 of the Ten Easy Piano Pieces. It has become one of Bartók's favorite works, which the composer himself was fond of playing at recitals. As he explained in an American interview, it was ''an original composition that is ... with themes of my own invention but ... the themes are in the style of the Hungarian-Transylvanian folk tunes. There are two themes. The first one is a parlando-rubato-rhythm and the second one is more in a dance-like rhythm. The second one is more or less the imitation of a peasant flute playing.'' Bartók also orchestrated the piece in 1931 as no. 1 of Hungarian Sketches. In 2015 we are launching aseries entitled Bartók Transcriptions for Music Students to mark the 70th anniversary of the composer s death. This involves reissuing our tried publications, and publishing some further, new transcriptions that fulfill in every respect the strict aesthetic demands of the earlier ones. We trust these publications will allow us to introduce still more music students to the realm of one of the great geniuses of 20th-century music. Das 1908 als Nr. 5 der Zehn leichten Klavierstücke komponierte Klavierwerk Ein Abend am Lande ist ein echter Bartók-Schlager, der auch vom Komponisten selbst mit Vorliebe im Rahmen seiner Konzerte vorgetragen wurde. In einem amerikanischen Interview äußerte er sich dazu, ''… es handelt sich um eine Originalkomposition, das heißt, ihre Themen stammen von mir, wobei diese Themen jedoch den Stil der siebenbürgisch-ungarischen Volkslieder aufgreifen. Von seinen zwei Themen hat das erste Parlando-Rubato-Charakter, das zweite ist eher von einem Tanzrhythmus geprägt … und ist mehr oder weniger die Imitation eines bäuerlichen Blockflötenspiels.'' Im Jahr 1931 instrumentierte Bartókdas Stück als Nr. 1 der Bilder aus Ungarn auch für Orchester.

Béla Bartók composed his four-volume series comprising short pieces for beginner pianists, For Children, between 1908 and 1910. It consists of folksong and nursery song arrangements the first two volumes utilize Hungarian music and the latter two are of Slovak origin. Bartók revised the series during the last years of his life (1943 to 1945). This collection contains easy arrangements of ten pieces from For Children for violin and piano they can either be played separately or one after the other as a suite. These arrangements are by the legendary violinist Ede Zathureczky (1903-1959), who regularly gave concerts with Bartók during the 1930s.

This volume consisting of 18 pieces contains works composed by Bartók for the Piano Tutor he edited together with Sándor Reschofsky and published in 1913. These little pieces by Bartók were enthusiastically hailed by the critic Antal Molnár in the columns of Nyugat: 'We see that even a piece intended for beginners can be of flesh and blood, can have a living soul and a thinking brain. No more wooden-puppet piano literature, for it can also be like this. These pieces are not only playable with real feeling but are so delightful that they educate, they inculcate aristocratic simplicity and noble naivety, and command respect for timeless, true musicality.' (November 1, 1913.) Theseminiature pieces include folk song arrangements and also original compositions anticipating the style of Mikrokosmos. (Hungaroton HCD 31604) Die 18 kleinen, leichten Klavierstücke stammen aus der Klavierschule von Bartók-Reschofsky von 1913 und sind nicht nur überaus geeignete Übungen für Anfänger sondern kleine Meisterwerke von überaus elegantem und zeitlosem Charme.

The word Mikrokosmos may be interpreted as a series of pieces in many different styles, representing a small world. Or it may be interpreted as world of the little ones, the children.Der Mikrokosmos ist ein Zyklus von 153 Stucken fur Klavier, zu didaktischen Zwecken geschrieben (Band 1: Z. 125, Band 2: Z. 126, Band 3: Z. 127, Band 4: Z. 128, Band 5: Z. 129, Band 6: Z. 130). Das bedeutet, dass von Anfang an kleine Klavierstucke g eubt werden konnen, um dann darauf weiter aufzubauen, da die Stucke entsprechend ihrem Schwierigkeitsgrad angeordnet sind. Das Wort Mikrokosmos kann als eine Serie von Stucken in verschiedenen Stilen verstanden werden, die zusammen eine kleine Welt b ilden. Oder man kann es als ,die Welt der Kleinen, der Kinder' verstehen. (Aus einem Interview des WNYC, New York, Anfang 1945, im Rahmen einer Sendung mit dem Titel Fragen Sieden Komponisten.).
