Grades 2-Whether a student or a great artist the desire to make a beautiful sound is a constant in the life of any musician. Sound is the musician's voice the means of communicating an artistic vision to the audience and it should be the aim for children of any age or standard to be engaged in good tone production.The inspiration for writing these pieces came from the wish to give young students music which would develop their ear for both good intonation and beautiful tone production. All the pieces have a strongly implied harmonic structure allowing them to be played without accompaniment. The purpose of the accompanuments is therefore to enable the teacher to underline theharmony as well as to influence the student's tone production and intonation through his own sound as much can be taught by good example.Finally it is the author's belief that children enjoy the challenge of expressing different moods and emotions musically and it is hoped that the range of ideas implied by the keys and the titles of these pieces will fire their imagination.Contents:Almost Alone D MinorAlong the Sunny Path F MajorDance of the Gnomes D MinorEnglish Folk Song A MajorFisherman's Tale Bb MajorFull Moon F MajorHappy Song G MajorIntermezzo Bb MajorLana's Song A MinorLändler A MajorMountain Climb G MajorOff to School C MajorOverture G MajorQuick March !

The 'Romanian Folk Dances' undoubtedly rank amongst Bartók's most popular compositions. The earliest version is scored for piano (1915) and was published by Universal Edition in 1918. The composer himself orchestrated this version in 1917. Several other chamber music arrangements (for example Zoltán Székely's version for violin and piano) were not by Bartók although he authorised them. The musical material derives from Bartók's collections of folk music which date right back to 1904 when he wrote down a melody sung by a Hungarian peasant girl. In the course of extensive travels throughout Eastern Europe Bartókcompiled an enormous collection of folk tunes (by 1918 his collection comprised no fewer than 2700 Hungarian 3500 Romanian and 3000 Slovak dances and songs) which would in all probability have been lost had Bartók not written them down. As it was some of them found their way into his compositions. In 1908 Bartók jotted down dance tunes in Transsylvania. They are the source of the 'Romanian Folk Dances'.
