Bartók Béla Viktor János ： Dance Suite BB 86b Sz 77 No.6 Finale Allegro

The sixth movement, “Finale,” which brings the Dance Suite to a close, is a piano transcription distinguished by its brisk tempo and the driving force of its sharp rhythms. Contrasts between forceful passages and changes of register create variety, while recurring motion heightens the tension toward the conclusion. Highlights include the percussive accents and the momentum that propels the music forward in one sweep. In performance, it is important to maintain the pulse rather than letting the speed take over, and to articulate the figures in the two hands clearly. Avoiding excessive hardness in strong passages and using the pedal sparingly to keep the sonority clear will bring out the vivid contours and dance-like vitality.
