Hungarian Violin busker plays Bartók

I came accross this violin player busking on the steps of the Buda Royal Castle in Budapest, Hungary (August 2006). He played a number of peices but this one really stood out to me as being outside the usual violin busker repertoire. He didn't speak much English, and I certainly couldn't grasp Hungarian in the week I spent there, but I did manage to shake his hand and tell him he was very good. Anyway, I showed him this very video on my camera's mini-screen, and he told me the composer was Bartók and the title of the peice was... I forgot... but I can remember it ended with 'Transylvania'. If anybody could tell me the name of the peice he's playing, I'd be very grateful!

i cant understand how people can just walk by and not even put a small coin in the man's violin case...i just cant understand how people can pay thousands to watch football matches and not be able to spare a coin for pure art

I could not 'Walk on By '. There is much talent and great heart here.

Bartok himself didn't compose pieces that were meant to be 'polished'. They were used as dances, so they were meant to be played in the gypsy style, raw and real. The piece is called Dances of Transylvania.
