Bartók Béla Viktor János ： 14 Bagatelles No.7 Allegro molto capriccioso BB 50 Sz 38 Op.6

No. 7 from Bartók’s 14 Bagatelles. As the marking Allegro molto capriccioso suggests, it vividly presents a capricious character through short phrases and changing accents within a highly concentrated span. Although compact in scale, the piece alternates between passages of active motion and moments suggesting a brief pause, making its subtle shifts of expression especially engaging. In performance, do not pursue speed alone: clarify the attack of each note while making effective use of rests and phrase breaks. Sudden dynamic changes should not be exaggerated; light fingerwork and a keen rhythmic sense can balance its freedom with an overall sense of unity.
