Drei ungarische Volkslieder für Blechbäserquartett

In this work written for beginners, mainly for children, the composer has arranged Hungarian folk songs. The movements bear the titles: andante poco rubato, andantino, allegro vivo. Its melodies and rhythms are simple. Nevertheless, it proves to be a show piece at children's level.

Sieben Bagatellen Für 12 Posaunen

The work composed for a chamber music ensemble of rare setting (10 trombones + 2 bass trombones) shows a cyclic layout which is born out by the order of the bagatelles and their movement-like arrangement (Moderato festivo, Scherzando, Sostenuto cantabile, Allegro giocoso, Lento lugubre, Valse moderato, Molto festivo). The sonorous proportions and dynamics relationships are given by the instrumentation itself which facilitates rendering. The Seven Bagatelles develop, above all, the ability to instil character into one's playing.

Sonatine

Béla Bartók often used musical material from his folk music collections for his compositions. His Sonatina, originally written for solo piano in 1915, was based on songs that he collected in Transylvania. The three movements (1. Bagpipers - Molto moderato, 2. Bear Dance - Moderato, and 3. Finale - Allegro vivace) were orchestrated by Bartók in 1931. Shortly before Bartók's orchestral transcription was finished, violinist Gertler Endre's transcript for violin and piano was completed. Gertler and Bartók knew each other personally and, in fact, first made each other's acquaintance as a result of their shared experience with their respective transcriptions.

Rhapsodie op. 1 für Klavier und Orchester : für Klavier und Orchester

'The Rhapsody appears to follow the example of Liszt: it is a bipartite form comprising slow and fast movements (Adagio molto - Allegretto, Allegro), in which a large role is given to the virtuoso, improvisatory passages of the solo instrument, and the inspiration of Romantic Hungarian melodies and rhythms. Bartók wrote the first version for solo piano between October and December 1904. In 1905 Bartók reworked the rhapsody for piano and orchestra, under the title 'Morceau de concert'. The first two concert performances of the piano and orchestra version were conducted by Jen Hubay in Budapest on 14 and 15 November 1909. (HCD 32504 Bartók New Series Vol. 4, Ferenc Bónis)
