Day 8 - Béla Bârtok - Mikrokosmos 1 -25

To be honest, I'm surprised about how intense this piece is. Now I start to play it on tempo it starts to sound strong. I realize what the problem is with Bârtok and you have to get over it. It is the initial feel of artificiality. It doesn't sound right when you start to study it. Only after a gazillion moments of exercise you start to get the feel of it, to understand the context. It is there, in the piece, it's just a search to find it.
