About this arrangement

Clarinet and Piano SKU: BT.EMBZ1920 Composed by Bela Bartok. EMB Music of Bela Bartok. Book Only. Composed 1955. 16 pages. Editio Musica Budapest #EMBZ1920. Published by Editio Musica Budapest (BT.EMBZ1920). Sonatina for piano was composed in 1915. In the work Bartók used five original Romanian instrumental folk dance melodies which he had recorded during his folk music collecting trips in Transylvania between 1910 and 1914. Movement I is based on two bagpipe melodies (ardeleana, joc) from Hunedoara and Bihor respectively, the melody of ''Bear dance'' had originally been played on violin and guitar, while the finale uses two violin melodies (a turcii, babaleuca) from Mure and Torontal respectively. In a late radio interview Bartók said, ''Bear dance was played for me by a peasant violinist on the G and D strings, on the lower strings in order to have it more similar to abear's voice.'' In 1931 Bartók orchestrated Sonatina with the title Dances of Transylvania. In 2015 we are launching a series entitled Bartók Transcriptions for Music Students to mark the 70th anniversary of the composer s death. This involves reissuing our tried publications, and publishing some further, new transcriptions that fulfill in every respect the strict aesthetic demands of the earlier ones. We trust these publications will allow us to introduce still more music students to the realm of one of the great geniuses of 20th-century music. Die Sonatine wurde 1915 komponiert. Im Werk werden fünf authentische rumänische instrumentale Volkstanzmelodien verwendet, die Bartók während seiner Sammelreisen nach Siebenbürgen in den Jahren 1910-1914 aufnahm. Der erste Satz basiert auf zwei Dudelsackmelodien (ardeleana, joc) aus Hunedoara und Bihor, die Melodie des ''Bärentanzes'' wurde ursprünglich auf der Violine und der Gitarre gespielt, und im Finale werden zwei Geigenmelodien (a turcii, babaleuca) aus Mure und Torontal verwendet. In einem späten Rundfunkinterview äußerte sich Bartók zum ''Bärentanz'', ''dies spielte mir ein Bauerngeiger auf den G- und D-Saiten vor, auf den tiefen Saiten also, um die Stimme desBären besser nachzuahmen.'' 1931 hat Bartók die Sonatine unter dem Titel Tänze aus Siebenbürgen für Orchester bearbeitet.
