🇭🇺Bartók Béla Viktor János ： Mikrokosmos Vol.4 No.100 In Folk Song Style BB 105 Sz 107

Included in Volume 4 of Bartók’s Mikrokosmos, this short piece evokes the manner of a folk song. The melody and the movement of the supporting notes are treated clearly, and even within its compact span, the flow of the beat and the direction of each phrase can be felt. Its appeal lies in the subtle rhythmic character beneath its simplicity and in the balance between melody and accompaniment. In performance, avoid making the sound too heavy; let the melody sing naturally while keeping the accompaniment restrained to create a sense of depth. Maintain a steady beat, avoid rushing the ends of phrases, and use light articulation to convey its folk-song-like manner of expression.
