The original conception of the Sonatina involved a group of Romanian folk dances for piano; Bartk selected three parts from this project, naming them as the Sonatina. The first movement, “Bagpipers,” features two distinct dances intended to be performed by two bagpipers. Its thematic material is rooted in a couple dance from Transylvaniathe ardeleana (also known as the kanszos)with its middle section inspired by the bagpipe playing of a middle-aged man recorded by Bartk in Vncsfalva (now Oncesti) of Bihar County in February 1910. In 1931, Bartk orchestrated the piece for symphony orchestra under the titleDances from Transylvania. This transcription for oboe and piano was prepared by the Liszt Prize-winning oboist Szeszler Tibor (19191992).Hungarian Translation Overview (ttekints)A Dudsokaz 1915-ben zongorra komponlt Szonatina cm hromttel els ttele.
