The definitive edition (1987) of the piano teaching classic. Includes an introduction by the composer's son Peter Bartók.

In 1945 Bela Bartok described 'Mikrokosmos' as a cycle of 153 pieces for piano written for 'didactic' purposes, seeing them as a series of pieces in many different styles, representing a small world, or as the 'world of the little ones, the children'.

The 153 pieces making up 'Mikrokosmos' are divided into six volumes arranged according to technical and musical difficulty / Partition /

For piano-Sergei Prokofiev was born in Sontsovka in the Ukraine on the 23rd of April 1891. Soon showing a talent for piano and composition by the time he was fourteen he was attending the St. Petersburg Conservatoire where he received extensive schooling inpiano harmony composition and conducting. Prokofiev was greatly interested in contemporary composers (Reger dIndy Debussy and Richard Strauss) and quickly made a name for himself with his revolutionary aesthetic language of great harmonic andrhythmic impact. His compositions were inspired by Symbolism and Futurism two artistic movements predominate at the time. Prokofiev attracted attention through his early works – the Etudes Op.2 and the Pieces Op. 3 and 4 – owing to his specialtechnique and percussive treatment of the piano (similar in some respects to Bartok) although he was also capable of rich melodic invention.Actually composed in 1907-08 before his Four Etudes for Piano Op. 2 Prokofiev’s Four Pieces for Piano Op. 3 and 4 were only published in 1911. Concert pieces some show Scriabin’s influence on the composer especially in the titles.

I Con moto 4'20''Cette sonate pour piano, première oeuvre de musique pure du compositeur âgé alors de 20 ans, se caractérise par ' un style incisif, un rythme étudié et une sensibilité très vive ' (Arthur Hoérée), Le premier mouvement est basé sur la forme sonate à deux thèmes, Il est imbibé par Mozart, même si des influences de musiciens contemporains telles celles de Bartok ou Roussel se font sentir ça et là, D'une virtuosité exigeant des déplacements de mains parfois acrobatiques, ce premier mouvement laisse souvent place à des moments de pure mélodie, plus proches d'un Schubert que d'un Hindemith, II Adagio 4'14''Après quatre accords double forte en forme d'interrogation, un thème mélodique exposé sans accompagnement préfigure le style général du mouvement, empreint de recueillement et de poésie, La partie centrale marque une rupture avec la sérénité du premier thème et évoque des éclats de couleurs fulgurants, en contraste avec le thème initial, Le retour à la fibre poétique du début renoue avec l'esprit de méditation de cet Adagio, III Allegro marcato 4'Ce mouvement, très martial, est riche en combinaisons rythmiques, Les rythmes ternaires habituels mêlés aux rythmes irréguliers du 8/8 et du 10/8 laissent libre cours aux différentes évolutions du thème principal, Cet Allegro est l'aboutissement logique de cette oeuvre de jeunesse pleine de joie de vivre et de gaieté, 1951, Première, Salle Cortot, le 16 avril 1953, par Hélène Pignar / Piano
