About This Song

About "6 Romanian Folk Dances, BB 68, Sz. 56 : Bartók: 6 Romanian Folk Dances, BB 68, Sz. 56: No. 5 Romanian Polka" by Avi Avital

The Romanian Polka bursts forth with a mischievous energy, Avital's mandolin skipping through the tune with gleeful precision. It's a whirlwind of folk revelry, but Bartók's harmonies add a tart, unexpected bite. The joy feels hard-won, a fleeting celebration against a backdrop of darker undercurrents.
