Béla Bartók: For Children Volume 1: Piano: Instrumental WorkLong before his famous Mikrokosmos Bart k composed a comprehensive collection of little piano pieces entitled For Children. Written in 1908 1911 its two volumes are based on Hungarian and Slovakian folk tunes respectively. Bothare organised in ascending difficulty from simple two-part pieces to Impressionistic miniatures and they offer everything that children s hands can manage. Bart k revised this collection in the 1940s. He did not just makemusical improvements but also gave every movement a title. This revised version forms the main text of our Urtext edition while an appendix offers movements from the early version that diverge significantly from the revisedones. As always in Henle s Bart k editions there are indications regarding performance practice and insights into how the composer himself played these pieces.
