Bartók's Romanian Folk Dances, a reflection of his interest in folk-music and his
great ability in using such melodic material so as to set it off in a new way,
was conceived in 1915 for piano and is now equally well known in an arrangement
for violin and piano by Zoltán Székely, and a version for solo violin and
string orchestra. The short dances are each based on material collected from
Romanian sources in Hungary. Rachel Lee
