Béla Bartók (1881-1945): Para Crianças (Jéno Jandó)

O grande Dr. Cravinhos nos envia este CD de Músicas para Crianças do genial Béla Bartók. Ficamos muito gratos. Não é todo dia que recebemos um presente desses. E ele ainda nos manda texto sobre a música, etc. Como acredito que quase todo mundo aqui lê inglês, copio aqui o texto que foi enviado a nós:

Bartók for Children, written in 1908 & 1909 and originally including 85 pieces based on Hungarian & Slovakian folk tunes, was first published in four volumes. Some of the pieces were revised by the composer in the 1930’s and he made a complete revision of the whole work in 1943, writing thirteen new pieces and reducing to total number to 79, to be published postumously in 1947 in two volumes although Bartók had been able to correct the proposed new edition in 1944. The pieces are described as little pieces for beginners, without stretches of an octave. They are a direct reflection of Bartók’s interest in folk music. The melodies, in various modes, are never forced into the traditional strait-jacket of academic harmony but set off by simple accompaniments that preserve their original character. For Children, as with Mikrokosmos and his forty-four Violin Duets, they offer a much wider view of music than was once and perhaps is still usual in teaching material confined entirely to the major and minor scales and harmonies of common practice.
