Early Bartok Pieces
on: August 04, 2010, 01:42:10 AM
I look everywhere, and I can never find any Bartok pieces from his first and second set of opus numbers. >:( Does anyone know where I can find them?
Currently working on:
*Prelude, Op.23 N.4 (Rachmaninoff)
*Prelude & Fugue in F major, WTC II (Bach)
...not fully decided on what else to start (most likely will be a Liszt, Schubert, or Medtner)...

Which pieces? His op.1 and op.2 are generally considered the Rhapsody and the Scherzo for piano and orchestra.  I had a quick look and saw that there are a few different systems though..
In any case the rhapsody is available from IMSLP
Never look at the trombones. You'll only encourage them.

I'm still trying to find the sheet music to a Bartok sonata written in 1898...

It's romantic sounding, and not like any of his other works. Which is a real shame.

I meant the pieces from the first and second set of opus numbers. Not his third set, because I've looked everywhere for sheet music from the first and second sets of opus numbers, and I can't find any of those pieces.
Currently working on:
*Prelude, Op.23 N.4 (Rachmaninoff)
*Prelude & Fugue in F major, WTC II (Bach)
