The first movement of Bartók's Piano Sonata, Sz. 80, written in 1926: an Allegro moderato in which percussive repeated chords drive a folk-like theme through changing metres, ending with a glissando. This edition follows the first Universal Edition engraving of 1927, with its fingering, accents and beaming.
