The definitive Bartok is arranged for alto saxophone by Martin Reiter, faithful to the style and atmosphere of the six colourful pieces. These duets are perfect for players of intermediate to more advanced levels who are building a repertoire of 20th century works.

Bartok himself collected the material for "Rumanian Dances" in Transylvania at the beginning of the century; Transylvania is the place in which this folk-dance music is part of everyday life. Bartok considered this music so very valuable that it became his new source of renewal of the musical mother tongue.

This edition includes the "Romanian Folk Dances" for alto saxophone and piano.

• Style and atmosphere have been captured in these six colourful duets for players of intermediate to more advanced levels
