Original

Bartok wrote his Piano Concerto No.3 during the summer of 1945, intending it as a birthday present to his wife Ditta on 31st October. By this time he was already gravely ill. however, he was able to finish the score with the exception of the last seventeen bars, which he notated in a kind of musical shorthand. These last bars were later deciphered and scored by his pupil and friend Tibor Serly. This is a reduction for 2 Pianos, four hands, by Matyas Seiber.
