Bartók's Mikrokosmos: Genesis, Pedagogy, and Style

Now available in paperback! BÃ©la BartÃ³k's Mikrokosmos is a collection of 153 pieces for piano designed by the composer as a series graded according to difficulty. The pieces were written between 1926 and 1939, and have become by far the best-known series of teaching pieces by a major composer in the twentieth century.

This in-depth study investigates BartÃ³k's Mikrokosmos from three main viewpoints: the genesis of the pieces, their pedagogical value, and their stylistic qualities. The book is intended for piano teachers, students, and performers as well as anyone interested in BartÃ³k's life and work as pianist, educator, and composer.
