Product description
The work written in 1907 was originally considered by the composer to be the first piece of op. 3 (finally instead of Ten Piano Pieces the Valsette and the Nine Piano Pieces were published separately). The tenderness and charm of pastel colours and mediterranean sounds are the characteristics of this composition, its melodies are constructed mostly from small third intervals.
Zoltán Kodály (1882-1967) was a Hungarian composer, musicologist, teacher and member of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. Together with Béla Bartók, he participated in the collection of folk songs and applied his folk knowledge to his compositional activities.
