Bartok B. - For Children 1-2 - Piano

Par BARTOK BELA. The editor has selected seventeen of the the forty-two pieces in the 1909 version of Béla Bartók?s seminal work, For Children, Volume One. These selections were chosen as a result of the editor?s teaching experiences with this music: pieces that are both pedagogically advantageous for the teacher, and the most enjoyed by students. Although Bartók?s intention was to write a set of pieces for young people, the charm and depth of these masterful works makes them equally appealing to students of all ages and levels. For Children has been played in concert and recorded by great pianists such as György Sándor, Zoltán Kocsis, Géza Anda, Menahem Pressler, and June de Toth. There is also a recording available on YouTube of Béla Bartók himself playing a selection of pieces from For Children in a 1945 radio broadcast. / Date parution : 2022-11-08/ Recueil / Piano

Béla Bartók's series of piano pieces For Children, based on folk melodies, was written around the end of the first decade of the 20th century. The pieces were published shortly afterwards by the Hungarian publisher Károly Rozsnyai. That first publication was in four volumes, the first two containing a total of 42 pieces based on Hungarian folk tunes, the third and fourth containing 43 pieces based on Slovakian folk tunes.In 1943, whilst in the United States, Bartók prepared a revised version of the collection for the publishers Boosey and Hawkes. The revisions were minimal: two Hungarian and four Slovakian songs were eliminated, there were a few minor alterations incorporating new ideas, some of the pieces previously written with accidentals had key signatures added, a few pieces were rewritten with changed meters - some fingerings were added or changed.The composer prepared the revised 1943 edition by using copies of the first edition on which he marked minor changes - where the changes were more extensive, fresh manuscript was written and a new version engraved. However, much of the engraving of the first edition was preserved in the 1943 edition. Publication took place in 1946, after the composer's death - it is not known if he saw final proofs prior to printing.The revised edition was published in two volumes, which now have been published together as one volume for the first time. / Piano

The series For Children (together with Mikrokosmos) belongs undoubtedly to the basic works of piano instruction. It is learned from almost all over the world. The present edition was prepared by the composer's son Péter Bartók living in the United States who used all available manuscripts and other documents which helped clarify the uncertainties concerning the music text. In order to meet this objective, a completely new engraving was made and the editor described the historical background of the emergence and the editions of the work as well as the nature of the corrections. The third and fourth parts based on Slovak folksongs appear now contracted to one volume with Hungarian, German and Slovak titles, folksong texts and notes of the editor in Hungarian and German. / Piano

A Selection of easy pieces. Par BARTOK BELA. Bartók?s Mikrokosmos has been used by countless piano teachers and their students all over the world since its conception in the early twentieth century. It provides a solid foundation on which to build good technique and an early understanding of the very basics of music itself. These principles have, in Siegfried Steinkogler?s capable hands, made an excellent transition to guitar with these arrangements for two guitars. Only the easiest pieces have been used, with most of them using only five notes for each player beginning in the first position and slowly working through the volume to the fifth position. On completing the pieces in this volume, players may like to tackle Steinkogler?s arrangements from Bartók?s For Children. / Date parution : 2022-12-06/ Recueil / Piano

Czechoslovakia has a rich and diverse heritage of folk-tunes many of which have a vigorous quality that is particularly attractive to young pianists. These fifty-two pieces are selected from a volume of one hundred by the distinguished Czech composer Petr Eben originally published in Prague. The tunes are given simple but inventive arrangements which often illustrate their descriptive titles. They are carefully graded (Grades 1-3) progressively introducing new technical elements. Petr Eben born in South Bohemia in 1929 has pursued a notable teaching career at Charles University Prague alongside his principalactivities as composer and pianist. His concern for young musicians is reflected in his Czech adaptation of Orff's Schulwerk and a large number of compositions for children. His creative arrangements of folk-tunes have already proved a great success with Piano teachers and pupils in Czechoslovakia; they will delight all those who enjoy for example the Bartok and Kodaly arrangements of East European folk material. Included in ABRSM Piano Grade 1 & 2 Syllabus 2017-2018 alternative pieces.
