Béla Bartók planned in 1939 to arrange for two violins and three violins his choral works (for egual voices). He was prevented from doing this by his early death. At the request of the Editio Musica Budapest, Endre Szervánszky has undertaken this task. His arrangements, which we are bringing out in two volumes, offer valuable material both to violin teaching and group music-making.
This collection addresses the pedagogical and performance need for accessible violin arrangements of Béla Bartók's original choral compositions. Endre Szervánszky, a composer and educator, completed these arrangements based on Bartók's initial 1939 concept for adapting choral works for two and three violins. The collection serves as a bridge between vocal literature and string pedagogy, providing technical material for students and ensemble players.
