Bela Bartok: “Romanian Folk Dances”
ベラ・バルトーク：「ルーマニアの民俗舞踊」
TIME COMMITMENT: 8 minutes
Bartok plants arduously corrosive seeds when using exotic time signatures. He achieves such feats with cliché-free authenticity, neatly condensed into succinct forms. Rectilinear craftsmanship of gypsy trails oozes from this sunny, carefree medley of cryptic jewels.
This popular set has both a keyboard and an orchestral version (both shown below), but make sure to check the third video by Muzsikas. The Carpathian dilettante inspiration source hides in plain sight.

A REFLECTION
Ever let the Fancy roam,
Pleasure never is at home:
At a touch sweet Pleasure melteth,
Like to bubbles when rain pelteth;
Then let winged Fancy wander
Through the thought still spread beyond her:
Open wide the mind’s cage-door,
She’ll dart forth, and cloudward soar.
John Keats: “Fancy
Sonic Asymmetry
