Aus Den 44 Duos Für Zwei Violinen. Par BARTOK BELA (ARR.FERESHTEH RAHBARI). Béla Bartók's '44 Duos” for violins are a set of marvelous musical miniatures that draw on the composer's love of Eastern European folk music. Ranging from easy to advanced standard, they have long been the province only of string players with arrangements first for cellos and more latterly for violas. Now they are available to delight flautists and will be ideal for recitals, either as a main program item or as encores, just as violinists have enjoyed them since their composition. Arranger Fereshteh Rahbari comments that it is thanks to the development of the flute over the last four decades, especially in its speaking quality, that these effective new arrangements could be made./ Répertoire / 2 Flûtes Traversières

This is a new edition of Béla Bartók's popular Romanian Folk Dances in its original scoring for Solo Piano. With fascinating background notes and unique imagery, this publication is essential for pianists interested in the work of the Hungarian composer.When Bartók was just 23 years old, he visited the Transylvanian town of Gerlicepuszta. Overhearing a lullaby sung by a teenage servant girl named Lidi Dósa, he quizzed her about it and noted it down. This was the beginning of a passion for folk music that would go on to change the course of the composer's life and work.Romanian Folk Dances remains one of Bartók's most popular and enduring works, evoking the folk melodies combined with his own idiosyncratic harmonies and textures. Each of the six short pieces here is based on a traditional melody which Bartók penned during his travels. Including newly engraved masterpieces Stick Dance, Waistband Dance, In One Spot, Dance From Butschum, Romanian Polka and Fast Dance, this sheet music collection features editorial revisions guided by recordings of Bartók's own performance. The notation also includes fingering guidance throughout.Romanian Folk Dances also features a specially-written introduction as well as some fantastic photographs that both tell the story of the young composer and the intriguing backstory of this work. One of the most important 20th century composers and, along with Liszt, one of Hungary's finest musical minds, Bartók held a strong fascination for folk music. Through his studies, recordings and arrangements, he composed some incredible music like these Romanian Folk Dances, while simultaneously initiating the field of ethnomusicology. / Piano

Par BARTOK BELA. Béla Bartók’s “For Children” is one of the best known pedagogical works for piano teachers of the twentieth century, second only perhaps to the same composer’s “Mikrokosmos”. It was based firmly on the huge number of folk songs he collected, recorded and studied with his colleague Zoltán Kodály. At the time, Bartók was offering something very new to piano teachers and their students. Siegfried Steinkogler became acquainted with “For Children” at the beginning of his guitar studies and, from them, learnt a great deal about melody and harmonisation. He has chosen 38 of the original 79 pieces to offer in arrangements for the guitar. They are presented with helpful fingerings, technical solutions and aids to familiarize the younger students with common notations. For beginners, ten of the pieces are played exclusively in the first position before a gently increasing level of difficulty helps the player broaden their skills. In these arrangements, Bartók’s ingenious teaching pieces will be as invaluable to guitarists as they have been to your pianists for over one hundred years./ Répertoire / 2 Guitares

La Suite op. 14 en quatre mouvements a été composée en 1916 et figurait parmi les oeuvres pour piano préférées de Bartók. Dans cette oeuvre - contrairement à ses autres compositions de ces années-là - il n'utilisa pas de mélodies populaires ni d'éléments tirés du folklore. Il visait ici au contraire bien plus un nouveau style pianistique plus 'abstrait' et transparent qui renonce à toute ornementation et autres figurations pianistiques. L'édition Henle se distingue par l'Andante supplémentaire publié en annexe qui, à l'origine, devait précéder le Scherzo et qui a été écarté par Bartók peu de temps avant la mise sous presse en 1918. La présente édition Urtext de cette importante oeuvre du répertoire de concert reprend le texte musical de l'intégrale des oeuvres de Bartók. Elle a été confiée à László Somfai, spécialiste mondialement renommé de l'oeuvre de Bartók, qui est également l'auteur de l'exhaustive introduction à l'oeuvre et de précieuses indications pour son interprétation. / Piano

Composées en 1915, les Danses populaires roumaines comptent parmi les oeuvres les plus connues de Bartók - et ce sous de multiples formes, car outre les diverses éditions de la version pour piano et une orchestration plus tardive de Bartók lui-même, il existe également des arrangements réalisés par des contemporains, avec l'accord du compositeur. On peut aujourd'hui même avoir recours à des enregistrements des danses par Bartók lui-même - ces derniers, avec des reprises variées et enrichies de doublures à l'octave, illustrent en quelque sorte la 'version de concert' des danses. Le spécialiste de Bartók László Somfai a mis de l'ordre dans cette abondante documentation et présente dans la Henle-Urtextausgabe les variantes essentielles pour le musicien, directement dans le texte musical. / Piano
