In the
years preceding World War
I, Hungarian composer,
pianist, and
ethnomusicologist Béla
Bartók (1881-1945) took
trips to the
Transylvanian region to
explore the musical
traditions of the
Romanian population.
Following a two-year
depression caused by the
war, as well as some
professional setbacks, he
returned to composition.
The Romanian Folk Dances,
Sz. 56, emerged in 1915,
bearing a strong
influence from his
experiences as an
ethnomusicologist. They
comprise 6 dances, all
based on folk tunes that
Bartók had recorded and
transcribed. In 1917, he
arranged a version for
full orchestra. Hungarian
violinist and composer
Zoltán Székely
(1903-2001) transcribed
these six short movements
for violin and piano in
1926, which are offered
here in this reprint
edition. Movements: 1.
Joc cu bâta (Stick
Dance), 2. Brâul (Sash
Dance), 3. Topogó /
Pê-loc (In One Spot), 4.
Bucsumí tánc /
Buciumeana (Dance from
Bucsum), 5. Poarga
româneasca (Romanian
Polka), 6. Aprózó /
Maruntel (Fast
Dance).
