From 1906 on
Béla Bartók was
collecting folksongs on a
regular basis. It was in
1907, during his first
collecting trip to
Transylvania, that he
jotted down those three
melodies in
Gyergyóteker patak, Cs
k, which he both provided
with piano accompaniment
(From Gyergyó) and
arranged for solo piano
(Three Hungarian
Folksongs from Cs k) in
the same year. The
melodies were played by a
''sixty-year old man'' on
a peasant flute. In 2015
we are launching a series
entitled Bartók
Transcriptions for Music
Students to mark the 70th
anniversary of the
composer s death. This
involves reissuing our
tried publications, and
publishing some further,
new transcriptions that
fulfill in every
respectthe strict
aesthetic demands of the
earlier ones. We trust
these publications will
allow us to introduce
still more music students
to the realm of one of
the great geniuses of
20th-century music.
