🇭🇺Bartók Béla Viktor János ： For Children Revised Edition Vol.1 No.20 Drinking Song BB 53 Sz 42

“Drinking Song” is a short piece marked by a familiar folk-like melody and a lively rhythmic character evocative of a convivial drinking gathering. Its brief phrases move forward clearly, bringing together a simple lyricism and a compact sense of vitality. In performance, it is important to maintain the flow of the beat, shape the divisions between phrases naturally, and keep the melody from being obscured by the accompaniment. Avoid rushing, and coordinate the beginnings of the notes. Crisp articulation and moderate dynamic contrasts help convey its bright, unpretentious atmosphere.
