Clarinet Octet "Romanian Folk Dances" (Bartók/Satoshi Kobayashi, arr.) All parts and score are complete. Béla Bartók was a representative Hungarian composer of the 20th century. He collected various folk music from the Magyar region and used it as a subject to complete his unique compositional techniques. His works directly reflect the anxieties and unrest of the first half of the 20th century. Bartók himself seemed to believe that the most important thing in folk songs was the melody, and that the accompaniment should be a "jewel's pedestal." This arrangement is basically for clarinet octet [5 B♭ clarinets (1 can be switched to E♭ clarinet), alto clarinet, bass clarinet, contrabass clarinet]. As an option, part scores are prepared so that the alto clarinet can be played by a basset horn or B♭ clarinet, and the contrabass clarinet can be played by a contrabass clarinet or contrabass.
