Bartók Béla Viktor János ： Mikrokosmos Vol.4 No.118 Triplets in 9/8 Time BB 105 Sz 107

This short study develops a secure sense of maintaining triplet motion within a 9/8 meter. The music centers on feeling the beat as three larger groups while articulating even, lively triplets. The repetition of concise patterns offers an opportunity to listen for the flow of the beat and the placement of accents. In performance, avoid making the notes sound overly heavy or mechanically even; instead, remain aware of the larger beat and preserve a natural sense of forward motion. Begin slowly, refining the evenness of the triplets and coordination between the hands, then add a more buoyant energy as the piece becomes familiar.
