About This Song

About "Bartók: For Children, Sz. 42, Book II "Hungarian Folk Songs": No. 32, Wedding Day and Night. Allegro ironico" by Dezsö Ránki

Wedding day and night collide in allegro ironico—Bartók's ironic bite beneath festive bells. Ránki plays the folk tune with a wink, the joy feeling forced, the celebration edged with unease. It's a marriage of delight and doubt, danced in brisk, sardonic steps.
