A Guide to the Trinity College Piano Syllabus (2021 - 2023)


Béla Bartók - Stamping Dance (from Mikrokosmos, Sz. 107, vol 5)

Sometimes known as Peasant’s Dance, this rustic piece explores changes of tempo and mood. While the composer’s articulation markings need careful consideration, it is not necessary to be too pedantic about the metronome markings (Bartók did not stick to these literally in his own performances). As long as the tempo relationships are preserved, some leeway is permissible.
