🇭🇺Bartók Béla Viktor János ： Suite Allegro barbaro BB 122 Op.4b

Sharp, driving rhythms, strong accents, and hard-edged chords come to the fore, highlighting the forceful treatment of the piano as a percussion instrument. Intricate motion, weighty bass lines, and sudden dynamic changes create tension and draw the listener forward. One of the main attractions is the contrast between the work’s rough momentum and its shifts in register and sonority. In performance, it is important not to pursue speed alone, but to keep the pulse firm and the placement of accents clear. Avoiding excessive tension in the wrists and arms, vary the use of crisp attacks and full resonance; allowing the contours of each voice and the musical flow to emerge within the noise brings out its wild character.
