English-Hungarian.

Bartók's Mikrokosmos has been one of the milestones in pedagogical piano repertoire for 80 years - and yet it is also far more than a classical piano primer. These 153 piano pieces, organized in ascending order of difficulty, engage not only with technical aspects of piano playing but also with the fundamentals of composition - from Imitation and Inversion, Ostinato, and Free Variations, concerning compositional technique, to mood pieces and pieces with programmatic ideas such as Notturno, Boating, From the Diary of a Fly, or the famous Six Dances in Bulgarian Rhythm. Mikrokosmos first appeared in 1940 in six volumes. Based on volume 40 of the Bartók CompleteEdition published in 2020(Z. 15040), the present Urtext edition offers the series gathered in three volumes. This edition includes Bartók's preface, exercises, and notes written for the first edition. Furthermore, it also features a preface and comments by the editor, which not only discuss the genesis and the compositional sources but also provide performers, teachers and pupils alike, with authentic and detailed information about Bartók's notation and the specific performing problems of Mikrokosmos.

Agnes Lakos writes the following about her four-volume piano tutor, enlivened with cheerful illustrations by Christina Diederich: A friendly piano tutor, without dry finger exercises, full of little masterpieces and colourful as a picture book! Piano playing can only be learnt with attractive, good quality works from the very beginning. J. S. Bach composed masterful character pieces for his children and his many pupils: 18th-century piano tutors contained a selection of performance pieces, so that from their first encounter with the piano, learners could feel that they were performers. This is precisely what we are aiming at too. The piano pieces in the four volumesrepresent every stylistic period of music history. The numerous works for three or four hands can be performed together with the teacher or with another pupil.

Das Klavierspiel kann man vom Anfang an nur an schonen und guten Werken erlernen. J. S. Bach komponierte fur seine Kinder und zahlreiche Schuler meisterhafte Charakterstucke: Die Klavierschulen des 18. Jahrhunderts wahlten Vortragsstucke aus, mit deren Hilfe sich der Schuler vom ersten Kennenlernen an mit dem Klavier als Interpret fuhlen konnte. Genau das ist auch unser Ziel. Die Klavierstucke der vier Hefte vertreten beinahealle Epochen der Musikgeschichte.
