🇭🇺Bartók Béla Viktor János ： Romanian Folk Dances No.2 Sash Dance BB 68 Sz 56

The repetition of short phrases and sharp accents creates the lively motion of the Sash Dance. The melody retains a simple contour while moving forward in close connection with the rhythmic accompaniment, with changes in register and dynamics distinguishing its smaller musical units. The highlights are the buoyant rhythmic drive and the expressive changes that emerge through repetition. In performance, the rhythm should not become too heavy; the beginnings of the notes should be coordinated, while the melody remains clearly audible. Accents should not be forced, and the rests and phrase breaks should also convey a physical sense of spring.
