🇭🇺Bartók Béla Viktor János ： Sonata for Two Pianos and Percussion BB 115 Sz 110

This work treats the two pianos and percussion as equal partners, closely combining sharp attacks, complex rhythms, and the percussion’s rich variety of sonorities. Its three movements form a striking contrast: the tense development of the first, the quiet, concentrated atmosphere of the second, and the dynamic propulsion of the third. The interplay and overlapping lines between the pianos should remain clear, while careful attention is needed to maintain a balance with the percussion. Rather than relying solely on strong accents, preserving rhythmic precision and continuity, including in the rests, is essential to achieving both its wild vitality and finely wrought sense of structure.
