Bartók Béla Viktor János ： Mikrokosmos Vol.5 No.129 Alternating Thirds BB 105 Sz 107

“Alternating Thirds” is an educational work that develops a sense of interval and finger independence through the alternating use of two-note chords in thirds. The music unfolds through the exchange of short motifs, allowing the listener to hear changes in sonority and flow within the repetitions. Each two-note chord should be played clearly and evenly, without pressing forcefully. With a stable hand position and fingering, maintain a steady sense of pulse while shaping natural accents and phrases so that the work’s finely crafted character as a study can emerge without sounding mechanical.
