44 Duos

Album by Béla Bartók & Kristóf Baráti & Karolina Kondorosi

44 Duos for Two Violins is a collection of duets by Hungarian composer Béla Bartók, written in 1931. The pieces draw on Central and Eastern European folk melodies and modal tonalities, using varied rhythmic metres, contrapuntal textures and a graded increase in technical difficulty that situate the set within Bartók's broader engagement with folk research and pedagogical composition.
First released: 23rd February 2023
