from Oannes *

Μεταξύ 1908 και 1909 ο Béla Bartók έγραψε μια σειρά από 85 “εκπαιδευτικά” κομμάτια για τους μικρούς μαθητές του πιάνου. Τα κομμάτια είναι μικρής διάρκειας και βασίζονται σε παραδοσιακές ουγγρικές και σλοβάκικες μελωδίες.
Η μουσική αξία τους οδήγησε αρκετούς πιανίστες να τα εντάξουν στο επίσημο ρεπερτόριό τους.
Διάλεξα μερικά, που σχηματίζουν μια χαλαρή ενότητα. Στο πιάνο ο Joel Schoenhals.

Between 1908 and 1909 Béla Bartók wrote a series of 85 “educational” pieces for young piano students.
The tracks are of short duration and based on traditional Hungarian and Slovak melodies.
Their musical value led several pianists to include them in their official repertoire.
I picked some that form a loose unity… Joel Schoenhals is on the piano.
