🇦🇹Franz Peter Schubert ： 12 Waltzes 17 Ländler and 9 Ecossaises | Waltz No.1 in C-Dur D145 Op.18

Opening Schubert’s collection of dances, this waltz is concise and immediately approachable. Within its flowing triple meter, the right-hand melody is clearly connected to the left-hand accompaniment, and the music unfolds through repeated short phrases. While preserving its light dance character, the performer should allow natural breathing and subtle changes of expression at the ends of phrases. Singing out the melody while keeping the accompaniment discreet, and using the pedal carefully to avoid blurring, will help create a clear and polished performance.
