Among Bela Bartók's most widely performed piano works are the Mikrokosmos, the Piano Sonata and the Fourteen Bagatelles. To compose this piano repertoire, Bartók was inspired by the Lisztian tradition, the most recent contemporaneity and his ethnomusicological activity. These elements converged in a rich collection of miniatures collected in this concert in the form of a scrapbook.
