MNtervuren: You play with a lot of feeling. But why do you
play this piece so slowly?
Bartok was very precise in his tempo
markings. Try playing it at 74 to the quarter
note as he specifies, not the 50 that you are
doing. Nor does the music gain anything by
erratic tempos - in bars 5-7 for example.
woodwindhodges: Thank you so much for posting this beautiful
performance.
