🇭🇺Bartók Béla Viktor János ： 7 Sketches No.5 Romanian Folk Song BB 54 Sz 44 Op.9b

Based on a Romanian folk song, this is a concise and concentrated miniature. Centered on a plain, song-like melody, it makes a strong impression through folk-like turns of phrase and lively rhythm. A highlight is the way the character of the melody and rhythm is clearly projected within a short span. In performance, keep the melodic line clear and control the dynamics of the accompaniment to organize the different layers of sound. Preserve the rhythmic momentum without overemphasizing the accents, bringing out the music’s simplicity and rhythmic elasticity. Careful attention to the small phrase divisions will also help create a natural flow within this brief piece.
