Bela Bartok - Mikrokosmos Volume 6 Pink For Piano Book (Nos 140-153)  📚

Piano Level: Intermediate - Advanced

Discover the musical world of Bela Bartok's "Mikrokosmos Volume 6 Pink for Piano Book (Nos 140-153)" brought to you by Boosey & Hawkes. This edition, which stands as the definitive version published in 1987, carries the essence of a piano teaching classic. Within its pages, an introduction penned by the composer's son, Peter Bartók, offers further insight into this remarkable work. The text is presented in English, French, German, and Hungarian.

In 1945, Bela Bartok introduced Mikrokosmos as a collection of 153 piano pieces crafted for didactic purposes. He envisioned them as a diverse array of compositions, each encompassing distinct styles. To him, this collection represented a miniature world, tailored for the realm of the young and the learners. Mikrokosmos is a reflection of Bartok's immersion in folk music, and its rhythms and harmonies epitomise a musicality that remains contemporary, transcending the passage of time.

The cycle's 153 pieces are thoughtfully organised into six volumes, each progressing in technical and musical complexity. In Mikrokosmos Volume 6, you'll encounter specific teaching points that guide your journey: divided arpeggios, minor seconds, major sevenths, and ostinato. These musical elements are masterfully interwoven to enhance your understanding and playing abilities.

With 64 pages of insightful content, this book encapsulates Bartok's profound musical legacy and invites pianists of all levels to explore the intricate nuances of his Mikrokosmos. Volume 6 contains Nos. 140-153.

Who Was Béla Bartók?

Béla Bartók (1881–1945) was a Hungarian composer, pianist, and ethnomusicologist, renowned for his significant contributions to 20th-century music. He was a pioneer in integrating folk music elements into his compositions, fusing traditional melodies and rhythms with modernist techniques. Bartók's works span a wide range of genres, from orchestral and chamber music to piano solos and operas. He explored new tonalities and rhythmic complexities, shaping his distinct musical language. Beyond his compositional legacy, Bartók's passion for ethnomusicology led him to research and record traditional folk music from various cultures, preserving a vast cultural heritage. His artistic innovations and dedication to folk traditions have left an indelible mark on the world of music.
