“The Romanian Folk Dances are probably Bela Bartok's most popular and most frequently played compositions… The present transcriptions aim to give a general impression of the original folk music with concrete references, utilizing some of the unusual sound possibilities of today's flute… In this realization, we hear folk music, classical music and experimental contemporary music at the same time. The unconventional sounds applied increase the rustic effect of the piece, helping to add an interesting colour to flute recitals.” — Gergely Ittzés
