🇭🇺Bartók Béla Viktor János ： Mikrokosmos Vol.4 No.116 Song BB 105 Sz 107

True to its title, “Song” is a concise educational piece that suggests a vocal-like flow within an instrumental setting. Listening closely to the shaping of the melody and the transitions between notes reveals how its expression changes within a brief span of music. In performance, avoid separating the notes too much; instead, maintain a natural legato while sensing the direction of each phrase. Bring out the notes carrying the melody while keeping the remaining notes subdued and supportive. Gentle, breath-like phrasing and restrained dynamic contrasts help convey the singing quality suggested by the title.
