🇦🇹Franz Peter Schubert ： 12 Ecossaises No.8 in C-Dur D299

This miniature is marked by the lively character of a dance and a concise, approachable melody. A clear sense of the beat is fundamental, while the short phrases should be shaped as coherent units. Listening closely to the exchanges between the hands and the changes of register reveals subtle shifts of expression within the limited musical material. In repeated passages, slight changes of tone color or dynamics on the second statement can bring out a more animated dance character instead of sounding mechanical. Maintain a light touch while giving careful attention to the melodic line and its singing quality.
