In a note
for the planned first
edition of his Hungarian
Peasant Songs in 1914,
Bartók wrote that
âthe melodies
published here are
folksongs in the truest
sense of the word; more
precisely, peasant
songs.â Bartók
initially withdrew this
work from publication,
however, and added new
pieces to it using folk
music he had collected in
the meantime. The first
edition was only finally
published in 1920. The
Bartók scholar
László Somfai
explains the work's
complicated genesis in
his preface. The comments
at the close of this
edition include important
indications regarding
performance practice
derived from the two
recordings that the
composer made of several
of its pieces in 1927 and
1936. The musical text
here follows that of the
corresponding volume of
the Bartók Complete
Edition that is currently
in preparation. This is
yet another highly
popular Bartók work
from G. Henle
