🇭🇺Bartók Béla Viktor János ： Little Suite BB 113 Sz 105 Dance from Maramaros

Among the movements of the Little Suite, this piece stands out for its lively folk-dance character and earthy strength. Built around short motives, its forward-driving pulse and changing accents propel the music, while the contrast between weighty low notes and incisive high notes provides a further point of interest. Although concise in design, the music can suggest changing expressions with each recurrence, and its energy grows as it progresses. In performance, the rhythm should remain clearly defined, with accents brought out without exaggeration. While maintaining a steady tempo, give attention to the resonance of the chords and the space within the rests. Preserving a supple dance quality within the hard-edged articulation will bring the music’s vivid contours to life.
