Johann Friedrich Franz Burgmüller ： 12 Études brillantes et mélodiques No.12 Moderato Op.105-12

The Moderato, which serves as the final piece in 12 Études brillantes et mélodiques, is an étude shaped less by overt brilliance than by a songful melody and a calm, flowing musical character. Carefully distinguish the roles of the principal melody and accompaniment, allowing the music to move naturally with the phrasing and harmonic changes. Rather than treating the delicate passagework solely as an exercise in finger evenness, shape it as a long-breathed line that conveys the direction of the melody. By balancing the hands, keeping the inner voices restrained, and subtly differentiating the character of each section, the brilliance within the work’s calm atmosphere comes clearly to the fore.
