Overview

English Overview:
This Hungaroton LP release from the Bartók Béla Complete Edition – Piano Music series presents a curated collection of early piano works by the Hungarian composer Béla Bartók. The album features three distinct sets of pieces:

  1. Ten Easy Pieces (Tíz Könnyű Zongoradarab, 1908):
    A collection of intermediate-level piano pieces originally composed in 1908, designed to introduce pianists to contemporary stylistic elements and technical challenges through accessible, yet expressive miniatures.

  2. Three Hungarian Folksongs From The Csik District (Három Csíkmegyei Népdal, 1907):
    These pieces capture the rich folk traditions of the Csik region, offering a glimpse into Bartók’s early fascination with national idioms and the rhythmic and melodic nuances of Hungarian vernacular music.

  3. Fourteen Bagatelles, Op.6 (1908):
    A set of fourteen short, characterful compositions that blend whimsical charm with subtle technical demands. Together, they showcase Bartók’s ability to transform everyday musical ideas into refined art.

Performed by the esteemed pianist Kornél Zempléni, this album exemplifies Bartók’s innovative contribution to 20th-century piano literature, making it an essential addition for students, scholars, and collectors of classical music.

Hungarian Overview (Áttekintés):
Ez a Hungaroton LP felvétel a Bartók Béla Complete Edition – Piano Music sorozat részeként olyan korai, zongorára szóló műveket mutat be, amelyek hitelesen tükrözik Bartók Béla XX. századi modern zenei nyelvezetét. A kiadvány három részre tagolódik:

  1. Tíz Könnyű Zongoradarab (1908):
    Középhaladó zongoristáknak készült, 1908-ban komponált darabok gyűjteménye, melyek könnyen megközelíthető módon ötvözik a kortárs stílust és a technikai kihívásokat.

  2. Három Csíkmegyei Népdal (1907):
    Ezek a művek betekintést nyújtanak a Csík megye népi hagyományaiba, és Bartók korai érdeklődését tükrözik a nemzeti zenei elemek és a helyi dallamok iránt.

  3. 14 Bagatell, Op.6 (1908):
    Egy tizenöt rövid, egyedi karakterű darabsorozat, amelyek játékos bájt és finom technikai követelményeket ötvöznek, bemutatva Bartók azon képességét, hogy a mindennapi zenei ötleteket kifinomult művészeti formává alakítsa.

Kornél Zempléni kivételes zongorajátékával ez a lemez elengedhetetlen forrás mind a zongoratanulók, mind a klasszikus zene szerelmesei számára.
