Mikrokosmos
153 Progressive Piano Pieces
The definitive edition (1987) of the piano
teaching classic. Includes an introduction
by the composer’s son Peter Bartók.
In 1945 Bela Bartók described ‘Mikrokosmos’
as a cycle of 153 pieces for piano written for
‘didactic’ purposes, seeing them as a series
of pieces in many different styles, representing
a small world, or as the ‘world of the
little ones, the children’. Stylistically ‘Mikrokosmos’
reflects the influence of folk music
on Bartok’s life and the rhythms and harmonies
employed create music that is as
modern today as when the cycle was written.
The 153 pieces making up ‘Mikrokosmos’ are
divided into six volumes arranged according
to technical and musical difficulty.
