Composed in Budapestwith its first performance by Hubay Jen on January 25, 1904and later presented in Vienna and Paris, the sonata reflects both the youthful experimentation and evolving refinements of its composer. Notably, Bartk revisited and revised the first and third movements over time, underscoring his quest for an ever-more perfected musical expression.This critical edition, published by Editio Musica Budapest Zenemkiad in 1968, is based on a rich array of primary sources: autographs from early public performances, the composer’s own handwritten amendments (including a separate page detailing changes in the first movement), and manuscripts used during live performances. To facilitate interpretation, the violin part is enhanced with detailed bowing indications and fingerings provided by the renowned Gertler Endre. Printed on highquality, environmentally friendly paper, this edition is both a practical resource for performers and a testament to Bartks lasting impact on modern music.Hungarian Translation ttekints:Bartk Bla 1903-ban megkomponlt hegedzongoraszontja meghatroz alkots a 20. szzad eleji magyar zenei innovciban.
