This programme presents 4 composers' different responses to folk music. Bartók's Sonata is followed by a work by D. Mitropoulos with which he made a clean break with earlier works in a more nationalistic vein. Saygun accompanied Bartók in 1936 on a field trip in Turkey collecting music. His Sonata refers to folk music primarily on a theoretical level. Enescu's Sonata is described by Çakmur as 'radiating a natural affinity for the village, without sacrificing its compositional value.'
