Béla Bartók composed the series of forty-four violin duos in 1931, prompted by the German violin teacher Erich Doflein. With the exception of numbers 35 and 36, all the pieces are based on original folk melodies, and the majority were collected by the composer himself during his numerous field trips in the Carpathian Basin. The melody for No. 42 was collected by Bartók in Algeria. Universal Edition (Vienna) published the violin duos in 1933 in four volumes, arranged in order of difficulty. The present transcription faithfully follows the original. Fingerings are by the editor.

Bartok's Allegro barbaro is a favorite of keyboard-mashing pianists, with its driving rhythms and sudden forceful outbursts. Arranging a piece like this for solo guitar is no small feat, yet Steinkogler has artfully accomplished just that, overcoming many technical challenges to bring the Bartok to six strings. For the accomplished guitarist, this would be a fantastic concert closer or encore piece.

The great violinist Yehudi Menuhin commissioned Bartok for a new work, and Bartok responded with the Sonate. When first Menuhin saw the work, he deemed it unplayable! Upon further inspection, the composition began to make sense, and Menuhin would ultimately hail it as the most important composition for violin alone since Bach. Similarly, Dejour - captivated by the Sonate - would have grave doubts about transcribing such a virtuosic masterpiece for violin for his own instrument, the guitar. He, too, came to realize that the Sonate could well transfer to the guitar, with its chord progressions, contrapuntal motion, and more. While still demanding of virtuosity, the Sonate is now available as a masterpiece for guitar.
