These six rhythmically driven studies are loosely based upon the metre and rhythm found in the 'Six Dances in Bulgarian Rhythm' by Bela Bartok, a feature set of dances in his Mikrokosmos Volume 6.
Each study has a duration between 2 and 3 minutes, and may be performed individually or as a set. Some studies may be suitable for senior secondary school performance solos.
