      Description:Select Guide Rating
      The definitive edition (1987) of the piano teaching classic. Includes an introduction by the composer''s son Peter Bartók.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 Bartók''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.Instrumentation:piano
      Ausgabe in englischer, französischer, deutscher und ungarischer Sprache.Dieser Zyklus gerhört zu den Klassikern der Literatur für den Klavierunterricht und für das Klavier überhaupt. Bartók betrachtete ihn als eine Reihe von Stücken in vielen verschiedenen Stilen, die alle zusammen eine eigene kleine Welt, die Welt der Kinder, repräsentieren. Stilistisch gesehen spiegelt sich in diesem Mikrokosmos der Einfluss der Volksmusik auf Bartóks Schaffen wider. Die verwendeten Rhythmen und Harmonien lassen eine Musik entstehen, die heute genauso modern ist wie zu der Zeit ihrer Entstehung. Die 153 Stücke des Zyklus sind in sechs Bänden erschienen, zusammengestellt nach ihrem technischen und musikalischen Schwierigkeitsgrad. Jeder Band enthält eine Einführung von Bartóks Sohn Peter.Besetzung:piano
