Bartók Béla Viktor János ： Dance Suite BB 86b Sz 77 No.2 Allegro molto

Repetitive rhythmic figures and sharp accents create a sense of constant momentum in this movement. Short motifs seem to be passed from one voice to another, while changes in dynamics and register heighten the tension. At the fast tempo, it is essential to maintain the flow of the beat while bringing out the clarity and precision of the rhythms. Rather than making the hands move in complete unison, listening carefully to each voice helps bring out the music’s driving energy and complex sonority. The accents should not be forced; a light touch and flexible wrists are more effective in conveying its lively character.
