🇭🇺Bartók Béla Viktor János ： Mikrokosmos Vol.4 No.102 Harmonics BB 105 Sz 107

This educational piece explores the creation of tone through the piano’s resonance. It combines silently depressing keys to set the strings resonating with clearly struck notes, producing a pale, transparent sonority unlike ordinary articulation. Within its brief span, the changing resonance and overlapping sounds are especially rewarding to listen for. The performer should avoid accidentally sounding the silently held notes, carefully control the strength and spacing of the struck notes, and preserve the after-resonance without relying too heavily on the pedal. Close attention to the notated instructions helps reveal the harmonics that emerge from the quietness.
