Bartók Béla Viktor János ： Mikrokosmos Vol.6 No.147 March BB 105 Sz 107

Placed toward the end of Volume 6 of Mikrokosmos, this is a concise, forward-driving march. Its clear sense of pulse and crisp rhythms propel the music onward, while the grouping of phrases and changes of register create expressive variety. The piece maintains the coherence of a march while suggesting tension and release through changes in dynamics and accents. In performance, it is important to keep the pulse steady, coordinate the rhythms of both hands, and avoid making the accents excessively heavy. Clearly even note lengths and carefully shaped dynamics at each point of arrival bring out an expression that combines lightness with strength.
