🇭🇺Bartók Béla Viktor János ： Mikrokosmos Vol.6 No.143 Divided Arpeggios BB 105 Sz 107

“Divided Arpeggios” is an educational miniature from Volume 6 of Mikrokosmos, in which the motion of the arpeggios is shared between the hands. Its appeal lies in the sensation of following the notes one by one and in the continuity created by the alternation of the hands, calling for both clarity in individual notes and a sense of flow. In practice, begin slowly and evenly, taking care that the beat does not lose its continuity as the hands alternate. Avoid pressing each note too heavily or using unnecessary movements in the wrists and arms; instead, cultivate smooth handovers and a balanced resonance. Even as the tempo increases, do not rush the motions, so that the music’s clarity and pedagogical purpose remain evident.
