🇫🇮Jean Sibelius ： 10 Pieces – Caprice in e-moll Op.24-3

Sibelius’s Caprice is a short piano piece that condenses lively momentum and a sense of tension into a brief span. Fine movement in the notes creates a continuous flow, while sharp accents and dynamic changes give the music its buoyancy. Against the more energetic passages, a more songful melodic expression emerges, creating contrasts that keep the piece from becoming monotonous. In performance, it is important not to pursue speed alone, but to maintain a clear sense of direction in the figures and a strong forward pulse. A light, crisp touch, with the melody brought out from the inner voices and accompaniment, and restrained pedaling to avoid a blurred sonority, will clarify the work’s profile.
