🇭🇺Bartók Béla Viktor János ： For Children Vol.1 No.24 Andante sostenuto BB 53 Sz 42

True to the marking “Andante sostenuto,” this miniature centers on an unhurried, long-breathed melody while maintaining a quiet sense of tension. As the song-like melody unfolds, the sonority subtly shifts, creating delicate changes of expression within a brief span. The highlights are the shaping of the melody and the lingering resonance at the ends of phrases. In performance, avoid separating the notes unnecessarily; sustain them fully, shape the phrases broadly, and keep the accompaniment restrained. Use the pedal in accordance with the changes in the sonority so that it does not become blurred, and make the melodic direction clear even in soft passages.
