Bartók Béla: For Children I.
Based on Hungarian Folk Tunes. Urtext (BB 53, 1908-1910, rev. 1943)
The present edition - which contains the same scores as those in Volume 37 of the Béla Bartók Complete Critical Edition (Z. 15037) - is based on the revised version that the composer made in 1943 for the new edition, to which he also referred to as ''corrected''. We have added Hungarian translations to the English titles but we have also restored the original collection of folk song texts with parallel English translations. The pieces discarded from the revised version, as well as early versions that are significantly different from the revised version, are included in the Appendix. The Appendix also contains two transcriptions of Bartók's recordings from 1945 that show typical concert variants of For Children. This publication contains a preface and editorial comments in both Hungarian and English.
