For Children (Bartók)

For Children (Bartók)

"For Children" (Hungarian: "A Gyermekeknek") is a cycle of 42 short piano pieces (in two volumes) composed by Béla Bartók. Each piece is based on a folk tune, Hungarian in the first volume, and Slovakian in the second. They were written as student works, and progress in difficulty throughout the cycle. However, in modern times, some concert pianists (notably Zoltán Kocsis) have begun including some of them on their recital programs, citing their musical value even apart from their pedagogical origins.
