78, BB 87a, also known as Falun, Dedinské scény, or its German title, Dorfszenen,[a] is a collection of Slovak folk songs for female voice and piano by Hungarian composer Béla Bartók.
Bartók, a composer primarily known for collecting and arranging folk music from central and eastern Europe, wrote this set of folk songs while on a project and journey around Europe that spanned several decades, starting around the 1900s.
It then faded into obscurity until Béla's son, Peter Bartók, revised and republished the piece in 1994, by examining both the published version and the manuscripts left behind by the composer together with scholars Eve Beglarian and Nelson Dellamaggiore.
The entire set has been translated into English by Martin Lindsay, German by Benedikt Szabolcsi, and Hungarian by Viktor Lány.
[3] The movement list is as follows: Bartók wrote an arrangement of the last three songs of the set for a small choir of four to eight female voices and orchestra in 1926.
