This collection of melodies offers a selection of the most attractive recorder tunes from the folk music of the Carpathian Basin, and also provides some insight into Romanian recorder music. Performances by folk musicians on the 6-hole folk recorder have been preserved on sound recordings and noted down by scholars. On this basis the editor has made practical transcriptions, in simplified notation. Material of this nature has up till now been unavailable to students and performing artists using modern wind instruments. This collection of unusual, nobly simple melodies and complex, virtuoso pieces is equally suitable for teaching purposes and for enlarging the repertoire ofinstrumental artists.

Diese Melodiensammlung präsentiert eine Auswahl der schönsten Blockflötenmelodien der ungarischen Volksmusik im Karpatenbecken, gleichzeitig gewährt sie aber auch Einblicke in die rumänische Blockflötenmusik. Die Volksmusikanten spielen auf Hirtenflöten mit sechs Löchern, aus der Praxis gibt es Tonbandaufnahmen und wissenschaftlichen Ansprüchen gerechtwerdende Aufzeichnungen, auf deren Basis der Herausgeber praktische Transkriptionen mit vereinfachter Schriftweise fertigte. Bis jetzt hatten die auf den modernen Blasinstrumenten spielenden Schüler und professionelle Bläser in dieser Form keinen Zugang zu einem derartigen oder ähnlichem Stoff. Die Sammlung der außergewöhnlichen,in ihrer Einfachheit edlen Melodien und komplizierten virtuosen Stücke kann sowohl für pädagogische Zwecke als auch zur Bereicherung des Repertoires professioneller Musiker herangezogen werden.
