🇭🇺Bartók Béla Viktor János ： Mikrokosmos Vol.3 No.71 Thirds BB 105 Sz 107

No. 71, “Thirds,” from Volume 3 of Mikrokosmos is a pedagogical work centered on paired thirds, developing coordination between the hands and a sense of pitch. Carefully following the progression of short musical figures requires precision in aligning the notes and concentration to maintain a continuous flow. Its appeal lies in the clear sonority created by the succession of paired notes and the rhythmic momentum generated by their movement. Begin by checking the movements of each hand separately, avoiding unnecessary tension in the wrists and arms while maintaining balance in the fingertips. Keeping the dynamics even and sensing the grouping of beats and the direction of the phrases allows a musical flow to emerge from this concise study.
