Béla Bartók
15 Hungarian Peasant Songs
In a note for the planned first edition of his Hungarian Peasant Songs in 1914, Bartók wrote that “the melodies published here are folksongs in the truest sense of the word; more precisely, peasant songs”. Bartók initially withdrew this work from publication, however, and added new pieces to it using folk music he had collected in the meantime. The first edition was only finally published in 1920. The Bartók scholar László Somfai explains the work’s complicated genesis in his preface. The comments at the close of this edition include important indications regarding performance practice derived from the two recordings that the composer made of several of its pieces in 1927 and 1936. The musical text here follows that of the corresponding volume of the Bartók Complete Edition that is currently in preparation. This is yet another highly popular Bartók work on offer from G. Henle Publishers!

Regular readers won’t be at all surprised to know that I love these new Henle editions. I am of course a particular fan of Bartók’s music, but also a fan of excellent scholarship, and a fan of Henle editions. Here these three combine to deliver an outstanding score.
Pianodao, 2018Lesenswert ist das instruktive Vorwort des Herausgebers, des renommierten Bartók-Forschers László Somfai, der die vergleichsweise langwierige Entstehungsgeschichte der 15 Ungarischen Bauernlieder beschreibt. Erfreulich ist es weiterhin, dass der Spieler am Schluss des Bandes ein Verzeichnis der von Bartók arrangierten Melodien und der zugehörigen, überwiegend humoristischen Texte erhält.
Üben und Musizieren, 2018In de Urtext-uitgaven van Henle vinden pianisten uitgebreid commentaren, een heldere lay-out en vaak ook bruikbare suggesties voor vingerzettingen en pedaalgebruik. Ook Bartóks eigen opnamen worden niet vergeten, ze vullen de bestaande uitgaven aan en geven een idee van de tempi en pedaliseringen die de componist voor zijn eigen muziek koos. ... Een voornemen om meer Bartók in de lespraktijk te gebruiken of in het eigen speelrepertoire op te nemen, wordt met deze twee uitgaven een stukje realistischer, ook omdat de printversies digitaal in de Henle Library app zijn te vinden.
