English-German-Hungarian.

This volume contains transcriptions of folksongs extracted from Bartók's world-renowned pedagogical piano series, For Children. In 2015 we launched this series to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the composer's death. This involved reissuing previous publications, and publishing some additional new transcriptions that fulfill the strict aesthetic demands of the earlier ones. We trust that these publications will allow us to introduce still more music students to the world of one of the great geniuses of 20th-century music.

Pal Jardanyi (1920 - 1966) was one of the most distinguished figures in Hungarian music during the years following the Second World War. He was an innovative researcher in the field of folk music, an eminent music critic, and a multifaceted teacher. Throughout a short creative life he pursued his own artistic and political beliefs, founded on the musical ideas of Bartok and Kodaly.
