This series consists of diverse materials that document significant moments
and relationships in Bartók’s professional and personal life. Correspondence
comprises the majority of these items and includes nearly seventy autograph
letters and postcards that Bartók and pianist Etelka Freund wrote to each
other between 1907 and 1952. Other items with Bartók’s signature include a
photograph of himself with Freund and her niece Irma, as well as a first
edition copy of his book Hungarian Folk Music.
The remaining items consist of newspaper clippings with Bartók’s published
essays, programs and publicity materials for his performances and other
engagements, and journal articles about his music. |

This series includes fourteen compositions that were published between 1910
and 1920. The only work not by Bartók is Zoltán Kodály’s 10 piéces pour le
piano (10 Pieces for Piano). Of note are four publisher proofs dating from
1910-1911 for first editions of Bartók’s early works, which he annotated in
red crayon and pencil. These include selections from Gyermekeknek (For Children), Két
elégia (Two Elegies), op.8b, Ket román tánc (Two Romanian Dances), op. 8a,
and Rhapsodie pour 2 pianos à 4 mains (Rhapsody for 2 Pianos and Four
Hands). These scores document changes that the composer made to these works
during the publishing process, and are significant due to a paucity of
primary source material for his compositions from this time period. The rest
of this series consists of his piano music, such as 3 Burleszk (3 Burlesques
pour le piano), op. 8c, and Gyászinduló (Kossuth), as well as his Rhapsodie pour piano et
l'orchestre (Rhapsody for Piano and Orchestra). |
