From the 44 Violin Duets, transcribed and fingering added by Donald Maurice and Claudine Bigelow. Composed by Bela Bartok. Transcription. Book Only. Composed 2016. 56 pages. Editio Musica Budapest #EMBZ14970. Published by Editio Musica Budapest (BT.EMBZ14970).

Bela Bartok composed his 44 Violin Duos in 1931, at the urging of the German violin pedagogue Erich Doflein. With two exceptions, all the pieces are based on original folk music themes, most of which the composer himself collected in the course of his numerous collecting trips to the Carpathian Basin and in Algeria. Although conceived as parts of a pedagogically motivated set, these little pieces are highly effective in concert performance as well. The viola transcriptions follow Bartok's original faithfully.

Bela Bartok komponierte 1931 auf Anregung des deutschen Violinpadagogen Erich Doflein seine 44 Duos fur zwei Violinen. Mit zwei Ausnahmen beruhen samtliche Stucke auf volksmusikalischen Themen, die der Komponist grosstenteils selbst auf zahlreichen Feldforschungsreisen im Karpatenbecken beziehungsweise in Algerien gesammelt hatte. Obwohl diese kleinen Stucke als Bestandteile einer padagogisch angelegten Serie bestimmt wurden, sind sie vollwertige und hochst wirkungsvolle Vortragsstucke. Sowohl die Cello- als auch die Viola-Bearbeitungen folgen den Originalstucken Bartoks getreulich: erstere sind auch mit Fingersatzen vom Herausgeber versehen.
