Old Hungarian Dances

<p>This new orchestration by Clark McAlister is based on the final nine items in Bartók's 1915 piano suite <em>Hungarian Peasant Songs Sz.71</em>. Scored for a Mozart-sized orchestra it is a most attractive setting of the final section or Bartók's original piano version where the nine peasant songs are played without a break. </p><p>McAlister's orchestration was first issued as full score and parts in 2007 by the now-defunct American publisher E.F. Kalmus. The study score offered here is a reduced-size reissue of the large score which is now exclusively available from Serenissima Music along with the orchestra parts.</p>
