From 1906 on
Béla Bartók was
collecting folksongs on a
regular basis. It was in
1907, during his first
collecting trip to
Transylvania, that he
jotted down those three
melodies in Gyergyóteker
patak, Cs k, which he
both provided with piano
accompaniment (From
Gyergyó) and arranged
for solo piano (Three
Hungarian Folksongs from
Cs k) in the same year.
The melodies were played
by a ''sixty-year old
man'' on a peasant flute.
In 2015 we are launching
a series entitled Bartók
Transcriptions for Music
Students to mark the 70th
anniversary of the
composer s death. This
involves reissuing our
tried publications, and
publishing some further,
new transcriptions that
fulfill in every
respectthe strict
aesthetic demands of the
earlier ones. We trust
these publications will
allow us to introduce
still more music students
to the realm of one of
the great geniuses of
20th-century music.
