This brand new edition presents Béla Bartók's Mikrokosmos, a progressive cycle of 153 studies for Piano, in a single volume for the first time. Designed to illustrate the musical and technical progressions suitable for beginner to advanced players, this complete collection is invaluable for every pianist. All six volumes of Mikrokosmos are presented here, exactly as the composer intended them. Featuring beginning études through to technical tours de force, this unique publication also contains an extensive introduction, Bartók's original preface and photography throughout.The initial pieces consolidate a balanced technique ideal for students working towards Grade 1. The cycle advances through fundamentals such as hand co-ordination, musicality, aural skills and ensemble-playing, taking the pianist to the complex Grade 8 level pieces found towards the end of the collection. Already accomplished players will find a wealth of material to enjoy as sight reading practice and concert pieces, making this a versatile collection as well as an insight into the mind and work of a great composer.Mikrokosmos evolved from the Piano lessons that Bartók gave to his own 9-year old son. Studies were written on the spot for young Peter Bartók to learn by next time. Over time, the 153 pieces took form, and they are collected here for beginner and advanced pianists to benefit from.Mikrokosmos lets students and teachers explore Bartók's endlessly imaginative and inventive musical world as they develop their pianistic skills. / Piano

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

Commissioned by the music publisher Rózsavölgyi and Co., Béla Bartók and Sándor Reschofsky assembled their Piano Method for beginners, which was first published in 1913.

Pianist and composer Reschofsky devised the framework and wrote the exercises for Piano Method, while Bartók composed 48 short performance pieces on the basis of the exercises.

In a review published in the journal Nyugat (Occident) on 1 November 1913 musicologist Antal Molnár enthusiastically welcomed the pieces by Bartók, which include both folk song arrangements and original compositions prefiguring the style of Mikrokosmos.

We can see [here] that a piece for beginners can also be alive andvibrant' declared Molnár. It can stir the soul and move the mind.
By its very existence it marks the end of lifeless, mechanical piano literature. Not only can these pieces be played with real devotion, since they are so charming, but they themselves can make you develop.

They can teach you refined simplicity and sophisticated naivety, and you can do honor to eternal, genuine musicality in them.' Ever since its appearance, many teachers have made successful use of Piano Method by Reschofsky and Bartók in the early years of instrumental music education.
