🇭🇺Bartók Béla Viktor János ： For Children Revised Edition Vol.1 No.22 Allegretto BB 53 Sz 42

Within the gentle pace of an Allegretto, this piece condenses a simple, songful melodic character and concise accompanimental motion. It is important to move forward with a clear sense of each short phrase group and its musical direction. Let the melody breathe naturally while sustaining its note values, and keep the accompaniment light and controlled so that overlapping voices do not become blurred. Rather than exaggerating the dynamics, shape the flow through subtle inflections leading toward each phrase peak; this brings out the appeal of Bartók’s economical writing. Use the pedal sparingly, checking the clarity of the resonance.
