The load is a heavy weight to bear, but it is necessary. So few understand the treasure he is gathering here, hiking mile after mile through forest and vale. In each town and village he passes, the people smile and laugh. They tell him stories, and then they joyfully surrender their treasure to him, and he collects it, bit by bit, into the box he c...
The “Mikrokosmos,” literally meaning the “micro-cosmos,” is a series of six volumes of piano compositions composed between 1926 and 1939 designed for the musical instruction of his son, Péter. The compositions get progressively more difficult, concluding with two volumes of music intended to be professional performance-quality pieces. All of the wo...
If the odd sound of this music surprises you, just know that it shocked me, too. One day as I sat in piano lessons with my professor in college, he suggested I go pick these up and look at them a bit before our next lesson. I bought the book, took it home, and sat at the piano with it in complete confusion; the notes made no sense and it sounded fl...
“Six Dances in Bulgarian Rhythm” is the last set of pieces in the final book of Bartók’s Mikrokosmos. As the name of the piece makes clear, the dances are based on a variety of asymmetrical rhythms that are common in Bulgarian folk music. The melodies, however, are completely original. Tonally, the dances make frequent use of a compositional techni...
Note: Each movement of the piece is treated in basically three ways here: 1. The reader is given a one to two-sentence summary of the piece 2. The basic structure of the piece is laid out, much like a map of where the piece will take you 3. A short video is provided that explains the composer’s basic musical material through concrete examples from ...
The first dance in the series is actually the most reflective, having sections that are slower which allows more time for thoughtful consideration. 1. A:Gentle, yet energetic introduction of the theme (the melody) 2. A’:First Variation—a slower rumination on the theme that gradually builds 3. A’’:Second Variation—a return to a calm and thoughtful r...
A bright and spritely dance—almost like a musical sparkler. 1. A: introduction of the underlying dance rhythm and melodic material 2. B:running scales, reminiscent of some parts of the first dance 3. A’:development of the initial melodic material 4. B’:development of the running scales 5. B’’:a driving presentation of the running scales, moving for...
In many ways, this is an extension and response to the second dance. It retains a similarly high-level energy but adds more force and power. 1. A: very brief introduction of the dance rhythm theme 2. B:introduction of the secondary melodic line 3. A’:development of the initial dance rhythm theme 4. B’:development of the secondary melodic line 5. A:...
The first openly joyful dance in the collection. The rhythm is suggestive of a skipping or hopping dance that eventually evolves into an almost raucous stomping. 1. A: a light and spirited introduction of the primary melodic line 2. A’: the first variation in which a lower voice sings through the melodic line 3. A’’: a very quiet rhythmic variation...
This movement, like the second, dances with quick and light steps but is more playful and less flamboyant. 1. A: brief introduction of a chromatic dance rhythm theme and a more fluid secondary melodic line 2. B:a rapid exchange between the two themes, emphasizing the contrast between the short articulations of the dance rhythm theme and the smoothe...

Out of Doors is a set of five piano solo pieces, Sz. 81, BB 89, written by Béla Bartók in 1926. Out of Doors (Hungarian: Szabadban, German: Im Freien, French: En Plein Air) is among the very few instrumental compositions by Bartók with programmatic titles.
