Bartók Béla Viktor János ： Mikrokosmos Vol.2 No.55 Triplets in Lydian Mode BB 105 Sz 107

Centered on a continuous flow of triplets, this educational piece brings out the brightness and sense of suspension characteristic of the Lydian mode. Its concise musical flow makes the balanced motion of the triplets and the direction of the melody especially rewarding to hear. Begin by coordinating the movement of both hands while maintaining a steady sense of the beat and keeping each note light. Rather than presenting the notes mechanically, shape natural dynamics with an awareness of phrase groupings so that the modal color becomes more vivid. Avoid rushing the tempo, keep the notes even, and listen closely to changes in resonance as you perform.
