Product Description

Product Description
Bela Bartok's Mikrokosmos is a collection of 153 pieces for piano designed by the composer as a series graded according to difficulty. The pieces were written between 1926 and 1939, and have become by far the best-known series of teaching pieces by a major composer in the twentieth-century. This in-depth study investigates Bartok's Mikrokosmos from three main viewpoints: the genesis of the pieces, their pedagogical value and their stylistic qualities. The book is intended for piano teachers, students, and performers as well as anyone interested in Bartok's life and work as pianist, educator, and composer.

2.0 out of 5 stars Description misleading, 23 May 2009
By Daniel Bor (Cambridge, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Bartoks Mikrokosmos (Paperback)
I bought this, assuming that this was the collected 6 volume version of Bartok's Mikrokosmos - as the production description implies. It is not - it is a commentary on the Mikrokosmos, and doesn't include any of them itself. The product description comes from the back of the book, where the second paragraph (not included on the Amazon site, unfortunately!) makes this clear.

I'll keep this review up until Amazon fixes this problem, to help others avoid the same mistake I made.
