For Children vol.2

for piano

Bartók, Béla

Bartók composed his first pedagogical collection For Children between 1908
and 1911. The first edition was issued between 1909 and 1911 in four volumes,
comprising two of Hungarian and two of Slovak folk song arrangements. After
moving to America, Bartók considered it important to produce new editions of
his earlier works. Thus in autumn 1943, together with his new publisher
Boosey & Hawkes, he planned a new edition of For Children, and to this end
completely revised the collection. Although Bartók had already completed his
revision by the end of 1943, the revised edition was only issued in 1946. The
pieces were published without titles in the first edition, but the folksong
lyrics were included. These lyrics, deemed unnecessary for the non-Hungarian
audiences, were not taken over to the American revised edition however, a
significant number of pieces were provided with a title conveying their mood
and their background in folk music and folk life. The American edition
omitted the folk songs lyrics that seemed unnecessary to the audience there,
but the titles of the first edition were replaced with English titles (some
with the same meaning and some with modified interpretations) conveying each
song's mood and background in folk music and folk life.The present edition -
which contains the same scores as those in Volume 37 of the Béla Bartók
Complete Critical Edition (Z. 15037) - is based on the revised version that
the composer made in 1943 for the new edition, to which he also referred to
as ''corrected''. We have added Hungarian translations to the English titles
but we have also restored the original collection of folk song texts with
parallel English translations. The pieces discarded from the revised version,
as well as early versions that are significantly different from the revised
version, are included in the Appendix. This publication contains a preface
and editorial comments in both Hungarian and English.
