Overview

English

Bartók Béla – Three Folksongs from the County of Csík is a distinctive choral transcription arranged specifically for oboe and piano by Tibor Szeszler. This 8-page edition is part of the "Bartók Transcriptions for Music Students" series, designed to introduce budding musicians to the rich heritage of one of the 20th century’s foremost composers. In 1907, on his inaugural collecting trip to Transylvania, Bartók recorded three melodies along Gyergyótekerőpatak in Csík. Originally, these folksongs were accompanied by piano—the same year the composer also arranged them for solo piano under the title "Three Hungarian Folksongs from Csík." With this transcription, inspired by the performance of a sixty-year-old peasant on a folk flute, the music is now presented for oboe and piano while faithfully maintaining Bartók’s authentic notation, tempo markings, and dynamic nuances.

Hungarian

A Bartók Béla – Három csíkmegyei népdal egy egyedülálló átirat, melyet Szeszler Tibor készített oboára és zongorára. Ez a 8 oldalas kiadvány a „Bartók-átiratok zeneiskolásoknak” sorozat része, melynek célja, hogy a fiatal zenetanulók megismerjék a 20. század egyik legnagyobb zeneszerzőjének gazdag népzenei örökségét. Bartók 1907-ben, első erdélyi gyűjtőútján a Csík megyei Gyergyótekerőpatakon jegyezte le ezeket a dallamokat. Eredetileg zongorakísérettel szerepeltek, majd ugyanebben az évben szólózongorára dolgozta fel őket „Három magyar népdal” címmel. Az átirat a népi furulyán való előadásra emlékeztető hangulatot idézi elő, miközben hűen követi Bartók eredeti zenei jelzéseit.
