Béla Bartók's series of piano pieces For Children, based on folk melodies, was written around the end of the first decade of the 20th century. The pieces were published shortly afterwards by the Hungarian publisher Károly Rozsnyai. That first publication was in four volumes, the first two containing a total of 42 pieces based on Hungarian folk tunes, the third and fourth containing 43 pieces based on Slovakian folk tunes.In 1943, whilst in the United States, Bartók prepared a revised version of the collection for the publishers Boosey and Hawkes. The revisions were minimal: two Hungarian and four Slovakian songs were eliminated, there were a few minor alterations incorporating new ideas, some of the pieces previously written with accidentals had key signatures added, a few pieces were rewritten with changed meters - some fingerings were added or changed.The composer prepared the revised 1943 edition by using copies of the first edition on which he marked minor changes - where the changes were more extensive, fresh manuscript was written and a new version engraved. However, much of the engraving of the first edition was preserved in the 1943 edition. Publication took place in 1946, after the composer's death - it is not known if he saw final proofs prior to printing.The revised edition was published in two volumes, which now have been published together as one volume for the first time. / Piano

35 pieces on the quirky sideInstrument : pianoNombre de Pages : 56Fascinations is a volume of quirky juxtapositions and intriguing pieces of music. L?illet is cheek-by-jowl with Liszt, Schumann with Scarlatti and Sjögren. There are some fine newly-written miniatures, but also some extraordinary pieces by well-known composers, such as Mozart?s bizarre Funeral march of Signor Maestro Contrapunto or the unsophisticated music-making faithfully represented in Gounod?s Bagpipers and Tchaikovsky?s The peasant plays the mouth-organ. Dance movements by Telemann, Schubert, Rameau, Ji?ovec and Zilcher all have something unexpected or piquant about them, although they are technically straightforward and a joy to play.For intermediate-level pianists.Piano Moods is an exciting new piano series from Boosey and Hawkes. Each volume is devoted to a particular mood. The pieces chosen draw on Boosey and Hawkes' extensive collection of wonderful music as well as lesser-known gems from the past - some of them from surprising sources - and newly composed works.Content : Bartók: Melody with interruptions (from Mikrokosmos III) - Benda: Presto (from Sonata IX) - Prokofieff: Rain and the rainbow (from Musiques d'enfants op. 65 no. 8) - Heller: Vivace op. 47 no. 7 - Anonymus (early 17th century): Dance and Afterdance (from Klavierbuch der Jungfrau Regina Clara im Hoff) - Grieg: Siri Dale song op. 66 no. 4 - Binkerd: Country Dance - Liszt: Resignazione - Bartók: Scherzo (from Mikrokosmos III) - Telemann: Presto (from TWV 30:25) - Gurlitt: Impromptu op. 224 no. 5 - Mozart: Funeral March for Signor Maestro Contrapunto - Tchaikovsky: The peasant plays the mouth-organ (from Album pour enfants op. 39 no. 13) - Benjamin: Silent and soft and slow descends the snow -Davies: Piano piece no. 23 - D.
