Béla Bartók: Romanian Folk Dances Sz. 56 | Violin and Piano (Score video)

BÉLA BARTÓK (1881-1945)
Romanian Folk Dances is a suite of six short piano pieces composed by Béla Bartók in 1915.
It is based on several Romanian tunes from Transylvania, originally played on fiddle or shepherd's flute. The original name for the piece was titled “Romanian Folk Dances from Hungary” (Magyarországi román népi táncok) but was later changed by Bartók when Romania annexed Transylvania in 1918-1920.
The works are entitled:
1. Dance With Stick (Jocul cu bâta / Bottánc) - Allegro Moderato
2. Waistband Dance (Brâul / Körtánc, Öves) - Allegro
3. Stamping Dance (Pe Loc / Topogó) - Andante
4. Horn Dance (Buciumeana / Bucsumi tánc) - Molto moderato
5. Romanian Polka (Poarga Românească / Román polka) - Allegro
6. Quick Dance (Mărunţel / Aprozó) - Allegro
