This book is a substantial and thorough musicological analysis of Turkish folk music. It reproduces in facsimile Bartók's autograph record of eighty seven vocal and instrumental peasant melodies of the Yürük Tribes, a nomadic people in southern Anatolia. Bartók's introduction includes his annotations of the melodies, texts, and translations and establishes a connection between Old Hungarian and Old Turkish folk music.   Begun in 1936 and completed in 1943, the work was Bartók's last major essay. The editor, Dr. Benjamin Suchoff, has provided an historical introduction and a chronology of the various manuscript versions. An afterword by Kurt Reinhard describes recent research in Turkish ethnomusicology and gives a contemporary assessment of Bartók's field work in Turkey. Appendices prepared by the editor include an index of themes compiled by computer.   Originally published in 1976.   The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These paperback editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

XVII and XVIII Century Italian Cembalo and Organ Music Transcribed for Piano

Carl Fischer

The definitive edition (1987) of the piano teaching classic. Includes an introduction by the composer's son Peter Bartk. In 1945 Bela Bartok described 'Mikrokosmos' as a cycle of 153 pieces for piano written for 'didactic' purposes, seeing them as a series of pieces in many different styles, representing a small world, or as the 'world of the little ones, the children'. Stylistically Mikrokosmos reflects the influence of folk music on Bartk's life and the rhythms and harmonies employed create music that is as modern today as when the cycle was written. The 153 pieces making up 'Mikrokosmos' are divided into six volumes arranged according to technical and musical difficulty. Content: - Foreword to the Definitive Edition - Preface by the Composer - Six Unison Melodies - Dotted Notes - Repetition - Syncopation - With Alternate Hands - Parallel Motion - Reflection - Change of Position - Question and Answer - Village Song - Parallel Motion with Change of Position - Contrary Motion - Four Unison Melodies - Imitation and Counterpoint - Imitation and Inversion - Pastorale - Imitation and Inversion - Repetition - Syncopation - Canon at the Octave - Imitation Reflected - Canon at the Lower Fifth - Dance in Canon Form - In Dorian Mode - Slow Dance - In Phrygian Mode - Chorale - Free Canon - Appendix: Exercises - Appendix: Notes
