Simple yet unusual: Bartók’s implied harmony

Posted By ArielLanyi 1137 days ago on all

https://ariellanyi.com - Implied harmony is common in jazz and in unaccompanied solo pieces for string and wind instruments, for example, in Bach's cello suites. It is quite rare in pieces written for the keyboard, where there are always plenty of fingers left to play the necessary chords in addition to the melodic line. Bartók's Unisons is an exception, as I show in this blog.
