| Homosassa, 1995. 28 x 40 cm, 16
facs, 80 pp. Full-color facsimile of the composing (short) score
written in 1944 in New York (and Saranac Lake), which, along with the
Third Piano Concerto, is the composer’s last work. The concerto, a
commission of the violist William Primrose, although “complete”, was
not scored by Bartók (the composer referred to its orchestration
as “mechanical work”), and surely many details and modifications would
have occurred when he transferred the composition onto the final score
paper. That task was later completed by Tibor Serly. With this
facsimile we can finally answer the question, how much is
Bartók, and what details come from Serly. With preface by Peter
Bartók and commentary provided in Eng-Hung-Ger-Jap-Sp. Hardbound
in black, with gold lettering. Special OMI price (reg. $100). $80 (see listing
of other 20th-century works) |
