🇭🇺Bartók Béla Viktor János ： For Children Revised Edition Vol.1 No.37 Swineherd’s Song BB 53 Sz 42

Centered on a simple, approachable melody, this miniature is shaped through concise writing. The flow of the music emerges from the exchange and repetition of short phrases, while its light rhythmic character gives the piece a lively sense of motion. The melody should be allowed to sing clearly, while the accompaniment is kept from becoming too heavy and a natural sense of direction is maintained through the ends of phrases. Even articulation and an expression of the humor and vitality within its simplicity bring out the piece’s charm. Rather than rushing the tempo, performers should feel the spring of the beat even in the smaller movements.
