Bartok wrote his first Rhapsody in 1928. It is a substantial work in two movements, the first containing a Hungarian melody against a drone-like accompaniment. Bartok provided two different endings for the second movement, and both are included here. The movement itself is formed from a series of new melodies building towards an accelerando. Here you can purchase and download the piano parts to play along to, recorded by a professional accompanist.
