Metodo – Reschofsky BARTOK BELA

Pédagogie

Description :

Commissioned by the music publisher Rózsavölgyi & Co. , Béla Bartók and Sándor Reschofsky assembled their Piano Method for beginners, which was first published in 1913. Pianist and musician Reschofsky, a student of Szendy and Koessler, devised the framework and wrote the exercises for Piano Method, while Bartók composed 48 short performance pieces on the basis of the exercises. In a review published in the journal Nyugat (Occident) on 1 November 1913 Antal Molnár enthusiastically welcomed the pieces by Bartók, which include both folk song arrangements and original compositions prefiguring the style of Mikrokosmos.
