Tartalmi leírás:
The 44 Duos
are unique among Bartók?s folksongs arrangements in the character-
istics of its choice of melodies. Its peculiarity consists not only in juxtaposing
Hungarian, Slovakian, Rumanian, Ruthenian, Serbian and Arab folk tunes. In the
44 Duos
Bartók chose melodies which represent musical connections between
the above- mentioned ethnic groups. One can find examples of the influence of the
Hungarian ?new- style? in Slovakian folk music, Hungarian ?old- style? in Ruma-
nian music, Ruthenian ?kolomejka? rhythm in Hungarian and Slovakian folk
songs. There
are also borrowed melodies, and musical elements, which are
present in melodies of various ethnic groups.
The selecting of particular types in the
44 Duos
can be explained by the aim to
e
xpress ideas which are conceived by Bartók several times. One aspect of these
ideas is the cooperation of Hungarians, Rumanians and Slovaks which should be
free from a national bias. Other aspect is the brotherhood of peoples in spite of all
wars and conflicts. He wrote that his music served this idea by arising from Hun-
garian, Slovak, Rumanian, Arabic and other sources. Responding to nazi ideology
he also stated that the ?race impurity? of folk music is a beneficial phenomenon,
as new styles or new types of melodies can be born through the interaction of folk
music.
The other group of pieces of the
44 Duos
(excepting some easy ones for begin-
ners) are based on Hungarian, Slovakian, Rumanian and Ruthenian tunes of folk
ceremonies. Bartók named the type of ceremony but did not mark the ethnic
provenance of the source in the titles. Therefore this group can represent an
imaginary cycle of ceremony songs of the Carpathian basin. This is on the one
hand a picturesque phrasing of the ideas mentioned above. On the other hand it
evokes the peasant life and ceremonies of the multiethnic Hungary before World
W
ar I and a reminiscence of period of Bartók?s collecting trips.
