Item No. HN1405
Béla Bartók Instrumental Work Piano Book

DESCRIPTION
After his 15 Hungarian Peasant Songs (HN 1404), these improvisations are the second of Bartók's works to feature the words Hungarian peasant songs in their title. The manner in which he confronts folk melodies with subtle,avant-garde sounds here was later described by Bartók himself as venturing to the outermost limits. He also breaks up the song structures so radically into their constituent motives that the title improvisations best conveys hisapproach to this folk music. The musical text of this Urtext edition, edited by Bartók expert László Somfai, is taken from the relevant volume of the Bartók Complete Edition. Comments at the close of this edition offer importanthints on performance practice.
