The works that she has chosen for the disc are Kodaly's 7 pieces, opus 11 and Marosszek Dances, as well as Bartok's 14 Bagatelles and 3 Hungarian Folk Songs from Csik.  \\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 2009 Valentina T\\xf3th won first prize in the Princess Christina Piano Competition and her career has been on the up and up ever since. Although she has only recently finished secondary school and is studying at the Royal Conservatoire in The Hague, she has already been on the stage at Carnegie Hall. For her first album Valentina T\\xf3th has decided to perform music by two of her favourite composers, Bart\\xf3k and Kod\\xe1ly. The Bagatelles opus 6 were written in 1908 and are an important link in the work of Bart\\xf3k, since they date from the time when Bart\\xf3k started to seriously collect and document Hungarian folk music.  T\\xf3th combines this and the same composer's Three Folk Songs from Cs\\xedk with the Seven Piano Pieces, Op. 11, and the Dances of Marossz\\xe9k by Kod\\xe1ly.  Kod\\xe1ly based the latter work on melodies and dances he had collected in the Marossz\\xe9k region in Transsylvania. Romania. Originally written for piano, he later adapted it for orchestra.\u003c\/p\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003ePersonnel: Valentina T\\xf3th (piano)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBela Bartok: 14 Bagatelles Sz.38 op. 6, I.
