🇭🇺Bartók Béla Viktor János ： Romanian Christmas Songs Book 2 No.7 Variante della precedente BB 67 Sz 57

This short piece is a “variante,” or variation, that takes up the preceding piece and presents its material in a different form. Its appeal lies in the changes in the layering of sounds, ornamentation, and rhythmic treatment while retaining traces of the melody. It is best approached with a clear sense of the overall flow, while listening for its differences from the preceding piece. Keep the melodic line from being obscured, carefully balance it against the accompaniment, and avoid using excessive force in the finer movements. By naturally connecting the feeling of a simple song with the changes in its musical writing, the performer can bring out rich expression within its concise form.
