Béla Bartók composed his 44 Violin Duos in 1931, at the urging of the German violin pedagogue Erich Doflein. With two exceptions, all the pieces are based on original folk music themes, most of which the composer himself collected in the course of his numerous collecting trips to the Carpathian Basin and in Algeria. Although conceived as parts of a pedagogically motivated set, these little pieces are highly effective in concert performance as well. The transcription follows Bartóks original faithfully. The publication includes fingerings added by the editor. / 2 Violoncelles

Aus Den 44 Duos Für Zwei Violinen. Par BARTOK BELA. 44 Duos' by Béla Bartók - the complete collection available for the first time in one edition for two celli. The '44 Duos' by Béla Bartók were written in 1931 and were originally included in a tutor for the violin, written by the teacher Erich Doflein (1900-1977). Since then they have become an indispensable key to the understanding of twentieth century music. Until now a version for two celli was limited to 18 selected duos. The present edition for two celli is the first to include them all. The arrangements are based either on the possibility of a downwards transposition by an octave, or, where the original makes use of the violin's open E string, downwards by a twelfth. • Introduction to Béla Bartók‘s musical world and to the most important elements of the folk music of Hungary and the neigbouring regions • All of the Duos are available for the first time in one edition arranged for two celli by Hans Erik Deckert • Provides aspiring cellists the chance to experience the musical partnership required by chamber music/ Répertoire / 2 Violoncelles
