Composées en 1915 les Danses populaires roumaines comptent parmi les uvres 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 dansla Henle-Urtextausgabe les variantes essentielles pour le musicien directement dans le texte musical.

In the years preceding World War I, Hungarian composer, pianist, and ethnomusicologist Béla Bartók (1881-1945) took trips to the Transylvanian region to explore the musical traditions of the Romanian population. Following a two-year depression caused by the war, as well as some professional setbacks, he returned to composition. The Romanian Folk Dances, Sz. 56, emerged in 1915, bearing a strong influence from his experiences as an ethnomusicologist. They comprise 6 dances, all based on folk tunes that Bartók had recorded and transcribed. In 1917, he arranged a version for full orchestra. Hungarian violinist and composer Zoltán Székely (1903-2001) transcribed these six short movements for violin and piano in 1926, which are offered here in this reprint edition. Movements: 1. Joc cu bâta (Stick Dance), 2. Brâul (Sash Dance), 3. Topogó / Pê-loc (In One Spot), 4. Bucsumí tánc / Buciumeana (Dance from Bucsum), 5. Poarga româneasca (Romanian Polka), 6. Aprózó / Maruntel (Fast Dance).
