A Guide to the Trinity College Piano Syllabus (2021 - 2023)
Bartók - No.2 from Six Dances in Bulgarian Rhythm (from Mikrokosmos, Sz. 107, vol. 6)
The 2nd piece in Béla Bartók’s Six Dances in Bulgarian Rhythm, from Mikrokosmos, Book 6, features an unusual time signature – 2+2+3/8 (effectively 7/8). To get the feel of how this time signature works, it may be helpful firstly to practise a few scales with this grouping, putting a slight accent at the beginning of each group. Not only will this give you the feeling for the irregular meter, it will also enliven your scale practice (not always a popular activity) by adding a fresh challenge.
