While Kodly is often celebrated for his choral works and pedagogical methods, these piano compositions reveal a deeply personal, impressionistic side of the composer. Strongly influenced by his friendship with Bla Bartk and his encounters with the music of Claude Debussy in Paris, these pieces blend lush, hazy harmonies with the rugged, rhythmic foundations of authentic Hungarian folk song. This Universal Edition score is the definitive choice for pianists seeking to master the “Rubato” style and the atmospheric depth of Eastern European modernism.Product FeaturesFormat:Sheet Music (Softcover)Instrumentation:Solo PianoPeriod:20th Century (Early Modern)Length:22 pagesWeight:0.12 kgPublisher:Universal EditionOpus Number:Op. 11Interesting FactsA Decade in the Making:Though published together, these pieces were written over an eight-year span, capturing Kodly’s stylistic evolution during the tumultuous years of World War I.The Impressionist Link:Piece No. 2,Il pleut dans mon coeur, is a direct reference to Paul Verlaines poetry (famously set by Debussy), showcasing Kodly’s connection to French symbolism.Folk Roots:Unlike Bartk’s more percussive piano writing, Kodly uses folk elements in a more lyrical, “parlando-rubato” style, mimicking the natural flow of Hungarian speech.Dedication:The set is a cornerstone of the Hungarian piano repertoire and is frequently used in international piano competitions to test a performer’s lyrical sensitivity and tonal control.Track Listing (The Seven Pieces)Lento2.”Il pleut dans mon coeur comme il pleut sur la ville”(Lento)RubatoEpitaphe(Lento)TranquilloAllegretto scherzandoRubatoPublishersUniversal Edition (Vienna)We value your feedback!
