Béla Bartók at the piano Sonatina





Today's Classical Corner... Bartok's Sonatina.
A piece for solo piano, written in 1915, by Hungarian composer Béla Bartók.
Initially
entitled Sonatina on Romanian folk tunes, it is based on folk tunes he
collected in his neighbouring country Romania, which, even though he
proclaimed Hungarian folk music was clearly superior, was a direct
source of inspiration all along his active years.
