About This Song
About "Bartók: For Children, Sz. 42, Book III "Slovakian Folk Songs": No. 50, Dance Song, the Lovers Bill and Coo. Allegro" by Dezsö Ránki
A Slovakian dance song becomes a lover's dizzy spin: allegro, bill and coo, but with a shadow of mockery. Ránki's crisp articulation makes the folk tune feel both playful and brittle, as if courtship is a game where someone might get hurt.
