The Romanian Folk Dances are undoubtedly among the most popular works of Bartok. The earliest version is for piano (1915) and was published by Universal Edition in 1918; arrangements for many other instruments followed. Now the internationally successful violist Kim Kashkashian presents her arrangement for viola and piano. Proof that Bartok's dances are also perfectly accentuated by the warm sound of the viola. (After the transcription for violin and piano by Zoltan Szekely)
