🇭🇺Bartók Béla Viktor János ： Mikrokosmos Vol.3 No.69 Chord Study BB 105 Sz 107

No. 69, “Chord Study,” from Volume 3 of Mikrokosmos is an educational miniature that encourages the player to perceive chords as unified sonorities while attending to their resonance and physical motion. Despite its brevity, it calls attention to the succession and changing placement of the chords, requiring the player to coordinate the hand shape and the work of the fingers rather than sounding each note in isolation. Begin by checking the evenness of the sound at a slow tempo, then move smoothly from one chord to the next with relaxed wrists and arms. Maintaining the dynamic shape and flow of the beat while distinguishing clear, unmuddied sonorities is central to its appeal.
