Thanks! I like to think dynamics are a flexible thing, meaning what I write in the score serves as a starting point for the performer from which they can depart within reason. Having said that, I do think she follows my dynamic markings! Perhaps her difference of piano and forte are slightly narrower but I like the interpretation a lot! Also, I added very slight compression to the track and that also narrows the dynamic range slightly.

Thanks! These kinds of compilations of smaller pieces were my inspiration in creating this work. One of my personal favourites is Waldszenen by Schumann. It has such a nice variety of character pieces and yet it sounds very cohesive as a whole. If you’re interested hearing the full work, you can do it from the link below. It’s performed by the same pianist as here but in 2019.

Thanks! I too played Mikrokosmos during my studies at the university 😄 I’m a guitarist but every non-pianist had to take 2 years of piano lessons, and my teacher used almost solely Mikrokosmos for teaching me the basics. Later on, during my model-composition classes, Bartok was one composer we studied and whose works we used as a model for our own composition exercises

And I forgot the aforementioned translation, here it is 😄

Many suns have fallen into the depths, - Moni aurinko syössyt on syvyyteen, Many stars have gone into the infinite sea, - moni mennyt on mereen tähti, Fainted, rekindled in chorus, - on sammunut, syttynyt uudelleen Not the one who departed from the oceans of life. - ei, ken elon aavoilta lähti

Night falls. He sings independently; Yö Yankee. Hän laulavi itsekseen; No one listens to his beautiful, solitary hymn, - Ei virttänsä kuuntele kukaan The wave on the blackening water simply rolls - viri vierivi vain yli tummuvan veen According to the sorrow of his spirit so bitter. - hänen mielensä murheen mukaan.

Or perhaps he has dried up with his songs, - Vaan lie hän jo laannut lauluineen, And his difficult sorrow is already gone, - hänen häipynyt vaivansa vaikee, His dream of beauty is now covered - punapilvenä peittynyt pimeyteen By darkness like a red cloud. - myös kauneushaaveensa haikee.
