Here is my arrangement of Béla Bartók's "Six Romanian Folk Dances, Sz.56" for oud and guitar. This has been probably the most challenging piece to put together for the twins here. The pieces are based on folk tunes, which implies that the original harmonies were probably quite simple. However, due to Bartók's inventiveness, he scored these pieces with some interesting accompaniment. I tried to stick to his arrangement from the piano score, though I took some liberties with the score in order to make it not impossible to play for guitar and oud.

0:00 I. Jocul cu bâtă (Stick Dance)

Romanian Folk Dances (Hungarian: Román népi táncok), Sz. 56, BB 68 is a suite of six short piano pieces composed by Béla Bartók in 1915. He later orchestrated it for small ensemble in 1917 as Sz. 68, BB 76.

It is based on seven Romanian tunes from Transylvania, originally played on fiddle or shepherd's flute. The original name for the piece was titled Romanian Folk Dances from Hungary (Magyarországi román népi táncok) but was later changed by Bartók when Romania occupied and finally annexed Transylvania between 1918–1920.
