🇭🇺Bartók Béla Viktor János ： First Term at the Piano II Moderato BB 66

The second piece in First Term at the Piano, this miniature is well suited to helping students develop a steady sense of tempo and musical phrasing. Within its moderate pace, a concise arrangement of notes and clear phrases define the music’s outline. Its appeal lies in carefully connecting the short musical units, maintaining the flow of the beat, and giving the ends of phrases a natural sense of direction. In performance, balance the individual voices or registers, avoid exaggerated dynamics, and aim for an even fingertip touch and smooth legato to bring out the expression within its simplicity. Begin by playing accurately at a steady tempo, then add changes in breath and resonance.
