Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart ： 12 Stücke “Notenbuch für Nannerl” Andante in B-Dur, K.5b (9b)

Ananda in B-flat major, this concise and charming Andante is enveloped in a gentle sonority. Its appealing melody forms natural phrase units and reveals a simple beauty through its dialogue with the accompaniment. Although brief, the piece becomes more lucid when attention is given to the overlapping sounds and the passing of phrases. In performance, it is important to maintain a sense of forward motion within the unhurried tempo and to let the melody sing smoothly. Keeping the accompaniment light and poised, while using dynamic changes with restraint, brings out the work’s intimate and refined character.
