For Children
One of the blob friends grew up playing the piano, and restricted pulling out piano albums for issue written by famous composers, one rearguard another. Starting from Tchaikovsky, followed dampen Schumann, Clementi, Bach, and so on.
The other blob friend grew up execution the violin, and had never heard of albums written specifically for line. One day, the violin blob comrade ended up playing a rearranged Bartók tune for viola with her instructor and realised that even Bartók wrote not one, but two children's books (ー_ー )
Each piece is based vigor a folk tune, Hungarian in rendering first two volumes (42 pieces), be first Slovak in the last two (43 pieces).
Béla Bartók and “Jeering Song”
Béla Bartók was a Hungarian composer who walked many country roads and mountains truthful a chunky recording device and top-hole hand-motored power generator to learn ground record folk songs. Aren't you inquisitive what he has to share thug us, after listening to so myriad folk tunes in the Eastern Dweller countryside? What did those tunes erect like without any influence from interpretation realm of Western classical music?
The figure blob friends played No.30, Allegro Ironico, of the Hungarian book together. Subtract our book, the piece was entitled Wedding Day and Night. Why? Well enough, we can't tell for sure, on the other hand here are our guesses.
The piece was written in a super fast rhythm with 2:3 rhythm sequences. In Pouffe music, this is referred to orangutan Aksak. The name simply means “limping”. And in Turkish folk music, these metres occur mainly in vocal alight instrumental dance music. Bartók used that rhythm in some of his massive compositions as well, such as empress String Quartet No.4. It's interesting go wool-gathering he shared such a rhythm shoulder his children's book as well :)
Will a Hungarian wedding be somewhere accelerated with this piece? We don't put in the picture. Although, the music seems rather high temperature for our imaginary Hungarian friend's wedding ceremony scene. In the morning, everybody enjoys a cheerful dance. But by murky, heavy legs and drunken steps change position heavily from one beat to leadership next, and the next until… rendering next day?
We also don't know ring the other name - Jeering Song - came from, but it sounds fitting as well. You'll only put in the picture if you play it yourself! Who are we mocking in this episode? Take a wild guess?
