The Microcosm of String Ensemble Music
András Soós 
Péter Tornyai 
Ilona Dobszay-Meskó
In our short film, András Soós, the author and the performers talk about his four-volume series of publications entitled The Microcosm of String Ensemble Music.
Bartók's Mikrokosmos is perhaps the most influential series of piano pieces of the 20th century, and one of the foundational works of piano pedagogic literature.
The Microcosm of String Ensemble Music offers 148 transcriptions from the series for playing in various string ensembles, arranged in four volumes according to difficulty.

Publishing Árpád Pejtsik’s scores for teaching chamber music
Árpád Pejtsik’s name is familiar to all who have learned or taught the cello in recent decades. Editio Musica Budapest has issued over a hundred of his works, some expressly for teaching and some to broaden the repertoire available for performance.
The scores have sold well all over the world and were used internationally for examining material.
The Kodály Concept of Music Education
Zoltán Kodály's ideas on music education are usually mentioned under the name Kodály Method. It is more accurate to say Kodály Concept because the composer himself did not work out any complete and detailed methodological process of teaching music. He formulated principles rather than teaching techniques or a step-by-step process or advice for teachers. The adaptation of the principles to the reality was elaborated and developed by his disciples and his followers.
These principles have come to be known as the "Kodály Method" of music education:
• Music is a prime necessity of life.
• Only music of the highest quality is good enough for children.
• Music education must begin nine months before the birth of the child.
• Music instruction must be a part of general education for everyone.
• The ear, the eye, the hand, and the heart must all be trained together.
