Description

AMQS on an off-white 6 x 4.25 album page, boldly signed below in ink, "Bartok Bela," and dated at Kolozsvár, October 30, 1922. Bartok pens four bars from his song 'Evening in the Country,' composed in 1908 as part of his 'Ten Easy Pieces' suite. The piece is inspired by Hungarian folk music, reflecting Bartók's interest in ethnomusicology and his efforts to incorporate traditional melodies into his compositions. It is known for its gentle, pastoral mood, evoking the serene atmosphere of the Hungarian countryside at dusk. In very good to fine condition, with overall light creasing, and a central vertical fold.
