Béla Bartók planned in 1939 to arrange for two violins and three violins his choral works (for egual voices). He was prevented from doing this by his early death. At the request of the Editio Musica Budapest, Endre Szervánszky has undertaken this task. His arrangements, which we are bringing out in two volumes, offer valuable material both to violin teaching and group music-making.
