The first ten arrangements are by Bartók. The first song: 'Elindultam szép hazámból' ("I left my beautiful fatherland") came to be applied to Bartók himself after his self-imposed exile in the USA. The third and fourth movements are in two parts - the third movement presenting two versions of 'Fehér László', and the fourth movement containing two different songs - 'A gyulai kert alatt' and 'A kertmegi kert alatt'. In later editions, the fifth song - 'Ucca, ucca, ég az ucca' - was omitted, but is retained in these arrangements for instruments in four parts.The titles of the ten songs by Bartók are:1. Elindultam szép hazámbul / Far Behind I Left My Country2. Által mennék én a Tiszán ladikon / Crossing the River3a. Fehér László / The Horse-thief3b. Fehér László / The Horse-thief4a.
