Thanks for your interest. No, Bartok just COLLECTED and PUBLISHED 5000 Romanian folk songs ( he collected 10 x more, but just published 5 volumes with this folk songs). I chose among those the one he never used in his music and arranged them: put them in a "composition", with harmony, rhythms, orchestration and development, so everything excepts the very melodies are original
are these from Bartok's own arrangements of folk songs, from transcriptions made by Bartok of folk songs or from field recordings made by Bartok in Romania?
