Rumänische Volkstänze
Description
The "Roumanian Folk Dances" originally were written for piano
but have appeared in many other guises as well. This transcription
for flute and guitar is based not only on the piano score but also
on the composer's orchestration and Zoltán Székely's
transcription for violin and piano.
In these six brief movements, the folk melodies are presented with
Bartók's own harmonizations in a wide variety of moods - from the
ethereal Pe loc, with its melody of narrow compass and its
augmented seconds, to the frenetic Maruntel, with its Lydian flavor
and driving, syncopated accompaniment.
