🇭🇺Bartók Béla Viktor János ： For Children Vol.1 No.28 Chorale BB 53 Sz 42

As its title suggests, “Chorale” leaves an impression through the resonance of chords supporting the melody and its steady, composed flow. The roles of melody and accompaniment are relatively distinct, allowing the listener to appreciate the exchange between voices and the changes in harmony. It is important to shape the overall direction broadly and sustain the musical line through the ends of phrases. In performance, rather than simply sounding the chords as blocks, bring out the natural peaks of the melody while keeping the inner voices and accompaniment restrained. Careful pedaling in accordance with the harmonic changes will help preserve clarity and reveal the profound resonance within the work’s concise writing.
