🇭🇺Bartók Béla Viktor János ： Three Hungarian Folk Songs No.3 White Lily BB 80b Sz 66

This concise and intimate third piece is Bartók’s piano arrangement of a Hungarian folk song. Centered on a broad, song-like melody, its accompaniment supports the tune while adding distinctive shades of color. Listen for the natural flow as short melodic phrases pass into one another, and attend to changes in dynamics and resonance when material is repeated. In performance, keep the right-hand melody clear without allowing the left hand to become too heavy. Use the pedal sparingly so that the sound remains transparent, preserving the folk-like simplicity and flexible breathing that bring out the character of the melody.
