Microcosmos is finally the final volume, Volume 6.
By now you should be familiar with odd time signatures and many accidentals. Rather than a textbook, it has become a repertoire collection that can be a great piece for concerts.If you’ve played Mikrokosmos so far, you’ll be fine.This is a piece collection that collects all the techniques accumulated in Microcosmos, such as fingering, position, how to play double notes and chords.Find your favorite pieces.

140.Free Variation	C2	♫
★Time signature sense (corresponding to successively changing time signatures such as 3/8, 2/4, 5/8) ★Repeated keying For the part where the double sound continues, first practice the one where the pitch changes alone.So that you know which melody line you want to hear clearly.There are many parts that change in semitones, so create an undulation. The notes with accent are clearly accented.By doing so, you can clearly see the timing of the change in the time signature (because there are many places where the beginning of the head of measure where the time signature changes is accented). It’s a piece with a strong percussion-like element, with repeated double sounds, but the melody is created by the constant changes in one of the notes, so I want you to play it on top of the undulations of cresc. and dim..A piece that is more melodious than it looks.The finger numbers are well thought out, making it easy to play even the parts that move in semitones. [10]-[12]：Make your left-hand accent stand out. Play the music rhythmically with your left hand. [30]-[33]：This is a 3-time signature in a 2-time signature, and we can enjoy the off-set rhythm as a polyrhythm.…I thought. But there is also an opinion that “Keep the 2 beats”. …Since the eighth notes are intentionally connected across the bars, I thought that it was in triple time, but I wonder if it’s wrong……I think it’s an interesting piece with rhythm deviations and fluctuations, so I will play it as a triple time (strong remark). [44]：The tempo should be a little slower than my performance… [52]-：”lugubre”(＝”eerily”) ,Bartók wrote.Make the melody with mf stand out and play it a little more clearly.On the other hand, the countermelody on the p side appears and disappears back and forth.The melody of the left hand adds to the eerieness. [77]-[79]：Have to play in 6/8.Use the accents on the first and third beats to create a sense of beat.Rather, if you don’t feel the 6/8 and play it, the accent won’t live at all. [80] ：While following the flow of 6/8 up to [79], the number of eighth rests on the right hand in the middle has been reduced from two to one, giving it a tighter feel.And,it is easy to reach the climax of ff by playing two notes in succession with both hands at the same time.

141.Subject and Reflection	C2
★Preservation of inner voice Basically, it consists of a pattern that is mirrored around the holding tone. Strong contrast between f and p. Play with a clear difference.The part with p and Vivacissimo feels like being in outer space. There are instructions for legato ([30]~), but there are accents everywhere, and I think you should raise your fingers slightly and play with a clear p sound. The tempo indication changes every few bars. Practicing in groups with the same tempo instruction makes it easier to organize the construction and play. First let the body memorize the tempo of each group. Group ①：♩ = 136–144 Group ②：♩ = 156 Group ③：♩ = 164 Group ④：♩ = 150 I think it’s good to take a pause before entering the next unit when there is a fermata or a break mark（’）, but if you can get on to the next tempo without leaving a gap in the parts where there are no specific instructions, then the fun of this dizzying tempo change comes alive.
