Paul Arma's 'Suite Paysanne Hongroise (after Bartók)' is a composition for solo piano that was composed in 1927. The piece was premiered in Paris in the same year by the composer himself. The suite consists of five movements, each of which is inspired by the folk music of Hungary. The first movement, 'Lassú', is a slow and melancholic piece that features a simple melody played in the right hand over a repetitive left-hand accompaniment. The second movement, 'Friss', is a lively and energetic dance that features a fast and complex rhythm. The third movement, 'Lassú', is similar to the first movement but is more upbeat and features a more complex melody. The fourth movement, 'Friss', is a fast and lively dance that features a complex and syncopated rhythm. The final movement, 'Lassú', is a slow and mournful piece that features a simple melody played in the right hand over a repetitive left-hand accompaniment. The suite is characterized by its use of Hungarian folk music, which is evident in the use of traditional melodies, rhythms, and harmonies. Arma's use of these elements is reminiscent of the work of his contemporary, Béla Bartók, who was also known for his use of folk music in his compositions. Overall, 'Suite Paysanne Hongroise (after Bartók)' is a beautiful and evocative piece that showcases Arma's skill as a composer and his deep appreciation for the music of his homeland.
