Piano accompaniment backing tracks
Bartok's six Romanian Folk Dances were originally written for piano solo in 1915, before Zoltan Szekely arranged them for violin and piano. Each brief dance uses a melody from a different region of Romanian/Transylvania, which would have originally been played on a fiddle or shepherd's flute.
These piano accompaniment tracks help make practising more effective and enjoyable! They are recorded by a professional accompanist and can help you keep in tune and in time, as you listen to the piano part for this work. Please scroll down for samples and details of each movement.
