carefully and apply the results of your analysis on a folk song of your liking.
I chose a Bolivian tune (called Akwi Akwi).  

Bolivian Bartokiana. I like the idea! And the resulting music of course .)) 

I saw the sheet music and you used exactly the same structure of the Bartok variation to create your own on another song...interesting and  in particular I think it's a good way to learn from the masters. This use of the structure of other composer with original material could be a interesting idea (I already told this but I'm serious)...maybe you can use the other seven structures too and create a sort of twin with the Bartok's collection. Some days ago I've uploaded my interpretation of the first Prelude in C+ by J.S.Bach from the WTC, there's some points of connection with your track in the way I used the structure(s) of the prelude to create a new prelude using the same notes, harmony and form but a completely different sound pattern. I'm interested in your point of view on my track and on this argument. Thanks.      P.S.: I like the elegance of this piece!!!
