Bela Bartok – Mikrokosmos, Vol. 1: Complete Practice Guide (2/2)

Was very helpful. Are you planning someday to cover the other volumes? There are several recordings of them online, but none with such helpful blog posts explaining the technical themes.

thanks I served me a lot of help. greetings from Chile !!

Uhm... Wrong note with 25.
There is only one black tone.

the time has come for me to try exercise 22 and further and well, I think they sound better than earlier exercises, but also soo much difficult for me. I guess now I really have to read both lines. I'll pop up here again later when I practice more.

It would make it easier if the curser still moved with every beat rather thsn stopping on long notes.... one should still be feeling the pulse through long notes and also when reading the eye looks ahead so the scrolling to the next system goes way too slowly... its gets very frustrating when one is trying to read and the music doesn’t show until you start playing the note.....

Thank you! Finding these really handy right now 😊

Piece 29, my book has an f# as that penultimate RH note. Is this a sneaky natural from Bartók or should it be sharp like the rest of the piece?

That jump in difficulty from 30 to 31 is the very jump that killed my piano career.

Sei proprio convinta del numero 25????

In exercise n.25 we have C# but you do not use it. Why?
