🇭🇺Bartók Béla Viktor János ： Mikrokosmos Vol.5 No.122 Chords Together and Opposed BB 105 Sz 107

This educational piece from Volume 5 of Mikrokosmos focuses closely on the treatment of chords. As its title suggests, it centers on passages in which both hands play chords together and passages in which the hands alternate in passing chords between them, inviting the performer to perceive the contrast between unified sonority and movement. A key point of interest is the clear presentation of the placement and changes of the chords within the musical flow. In performance, each chord should be placed together and accurately, while the distinction between simultaneous and alternating playing is brought out through rhythmic stability. Rather than forcing the volume into uniformity, keep the wrists and arms flexible, and shape the length and weight of the sounds while listening carefully to the resonance.
