Bartók Béla Viktor János ： For Children Revised Edition Vol.2 No.22 Cheerfully BB 53 Sz 42

This short and approachable piece is filled with a light, bright spirit. Its lively rhythmic motion and simple melody create a vivid character, while the exchange of short phrases and changes of register give the music a sense of movement. A key attraction is the way each small section can be shaped expressively while keeping the overall flow uninterrupted. In performance, maintain a buoyant sense of pulse and bring the melody clearly to the fore. Rather than exaggerating the dynamic changes, use a light touch and crisp articulation to convey the cheerful, carefree character suggested by the title.
