About this arrangement

Violin and Piano SKU: BT.EMBZ2524 Composed by Bela Bartok. EMB Music of Bela Bartok. Exam Material. Book Only. Composed 1957. 6 pages. Editio Musica Budapest #EMBZ2524. Published by Editio Musica Budapest (BT.EMBZ2524). English-German-Hungarian.An Evening in the Village was composed in 1908 as no. 5 of the Ten Easy Piano Pieces. It has become one of Bartók s favorite works, which the composer himself was fond of playing at recitals. As he explained in an American interview, it was an original composition that is ... with themes of my own invention but ... the themes are in the style of the Hungarian-Transylvanian folk tunes. There are two themes. The first one is a parlando-rubato-rhythm and the second one is more in a dance-like rhythm. The second one is more or less the imitation of a peasant flute playing. Bartók also orchestrated the piece in 1931 as no. 1 of Hungarian Sketches.
