Bartók Béla Viktor János ： Mikrokosmos Vol.2 No.50 Minuet BB 105 Sz 107

This is a learner-oriented miniature with the balance and lightness of a dance. Built on the gentle triple meter of a minuet, it unfolds through short phrases that seem to answer one another. Its highlights include the dialogue created by the movement of the two hands and the changing character of each phrase group. First, bring out and align the individual parts clearly, maintaining the flow of the beat while allowing the ends of phrases to breathe naturally. Avoid playing too heavily; aim for a light touch and neat articulation. In repeated passages, small changes in dynamics and musical direction will prevent mechanical playing and bring out the charm of its concise design.
