Arioso for cello and piano by Ferenc Farkas (1905-2000) is one of the composer’s earliest-known compositions. He wrote the piece in 1926 during his student years, although it was originally intended to be the slow movement of a viola sonata which was never published. Only later did Farkas rework it as a stand-alone work for cello. The composition, like Kodály's Adagio which was published 20 years prior and also written for cello, focuses on the singing melody of the string instrument while simultaneously showing Farkas’ creative preference for Mediterranean colors and Latin proportion.
