Programme note:

In 1906 the Hungarian composers Béla Bartók (1881 – 1945) and Zoltán Kodály (1882  â€“ 1967) published a collection of twenty Hungarian Folksong arrangements for voice and piano ('Magyar népdalok énekhangra és zongorára'). The first ten arrangements are by Bartók. The first song: 'Elindultam szép hazámból' (I left my beautiful fatherland) came to be applied to Bartók himself after his self-imposed exile in the USA. The third and fourth movements are in two parts - the third movement presenting two versions of 'Fehér László', and the fourth movement containing two different songs - 'A gyulai kert alatt' and 'A kertmegi kert alatt'. In later editions, the fifth song - 'Ucca, ucca, ég az ucca' - was omitted, but is retained in these arrangements for instruments in four parts.

The titles of the ten songs by Bartók are:

1. Elindultam szép hazámbul / Far Behind I Left My Country

2. �ltal mennék én a Tiszán ladikon / Crossing the River

3a. Fehér László / The Horse-thief

3b. Fehér László / The Horse-thief

4a. A gyulai kert alatt / In the Summer Fields

4b. A kertmegi kert alatt / I Was in a Garden Green

5. Ucca, ucca, ég az ucca

6. Ablakomba, ablakomba / Deceived in Love

7. Száraz ágtól messze virít a rózsa / Love’s a Burden

8. Végigmentem a tárkányi / Walking Through the Town

9. Nem messze van ide kis Margitta / The Horseman

This is a 2nd series of transcriptions that I have started in 2018 as a way of popularising Filipino Folk Music to a larger audience, especially in the Classical World. I would not recommend these transcriptions for a beginner pianist but are within the reach of intermediate to advanced level pianist. These folksongs have been arranged with performance considerations in mind to create the illusion of a difficult transcription without a need for great technical facility. The choice of key signature, which may be daunting at first, actually allows for greater scope and complexity in LH accompaniment figures. RH passages are written in such a way as to limit position shifts allowing easier execution. Furthermore, great care has been taken to create smooth ‘voice-leading’ in the LH accompaniment figure, especially in the bass line and the chords.
