🇭🇺Bartók Béla Viktor János ： Mikrokosmos Vol.4 No.112 Variations on a Folk Song BB 105 Sz 107

This pedagogical work develops a folk melody by changing its character and texture. After becoming familiar with the outline of the original tune, listen closely to the differences in rhythm, register, accompanimental movement, and the way the sonorities are layered. Keep the melody from being obscured by carefully balancing the voices, and make the character of each changing rhythmic pattern clear. Shape the direction of each short phrase with flexibility rather than playing mechanically, bringing out both the folk-like directness of the melody and the vivid writing characteristic of Bartók.
