Mikrokosmos Bartoka [Paperback] and similar items

Bartokâ?s â??Microcosmâ? is revealed in the book as an integral system of education for a modern musician. Developing the traditions of musical pedagogy of the Baroque era, in particular the tradition of instructive clavier compositions by I.S. Bach, Bartok combines in this cycle material for the initial training of the piano, rich (153 compositions) and diverse (songs, dances, characteristic plays, sketches, exercises, preludes, inventions, etc.) a repertoire for performance and playing music (reading from a sheet, ensemble play, simple arrangement of the text). An outstanding composer-teacher offers his own concept of developing musical thinking among students-pianists, introducing them to the language of modern music, to the composition technique.The book examines the structure of Microcosm, reveals the main musical and pedagogical ideas and principles that underlie it. The author analyzes a number of plays from performing and methodological positions, gives recommendations for their development, the use of some of them as models for students' own creative experiences.The book is addressed to teachers of children's music schools, students of music colleges and universities.ContentForeword1.
