A year later, he wrote a version for piano and orchestra. The catalogue number of this composition is Op. 1, Sz. 26. The initial full-length composition for piano eventually received a catalogue number BB 36a, whereas the second version, with piano and orchestra, received a catalogue number BB 36b.〔 == Composition == The ''Rhapsody'' for piano was a very important work, especially for the fact that it was at that time when Bartók decided to begin his third list of compositions. In this stage, he decided to embark a new period in his artistic career where he would explore mainly folk music from Romania and Hungary. This turned out to be the pivotal work from which he developed a new direction to both his compositional style and his preoccupations as an artist. The Rhapsody was completed in late 1904 and was dedicated to Emma Gruber, who later became the wife of Zoltán Kodály. Drafts for the composition are not extant. The virtuoso piano writing of the work's "elaborate textures and sectional contrasts" relates to the model of Franz Liszt. After five revisions and updates, Bartók also released a version for piano and orchestra in 1905 and a version for two pianos. In 1907, Bartók also composed a fourth version of the same piece, which was shortened by almost half of the total length of the composition. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rhapsody, Op. 1 (Bartók)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
