Extract

In music's huge jungle somebody, once, wanted to build a road: a road you can walk on and one which leads somewhere. Such a road is Bartók's Mikrokosmos. A conceptual work, not a mere succession of pieces: each of them is part of a total vision based on similar elements and unfolding according to similar principles. If you are even a little familiar with them, you will recognize their flavor even if you turn on the radio in the middle of a piece.
