BÃ©la BartÃ³k's monumental Mikrokosmos, containing 153 mainly short "progressive" piano pieces composed between 1932 and 1939, is both a very special piano method and a collection of wonderfully original performance pieces (the series actually contains almost the complete piano music by BartÃ³k from the 1930s). Finally, it is also a detailed introduction to different aspects of his compositional style. With Mikro-kosmos, BartÃ³k, who was generally reluctant to teach composition, created a veritable method of composition. A series of short piano pieces for the 1913 Piano Method jointly authored by BartÃ³k and SÃ¡ndor Reschofsky and published by RÃ³zsa- vÃ¶lgyi in Budapest is the most immediate precursor of BartÃ³k's magnum opus, the six-volume Mikrokosmos. In 1913, the composer's basic endeavor was to help produce a true modern piano school, in which all performance pieces and some easy exercises made up BartÃ³k's contribution. The 48 little pieces by BartÃ³k included five-finger exercises, easy contrapuntal pieces, occasional essays in different styles as well as a range of character pieces.
