🇷🇺Dmitri Borisovich Kabalevsky ： 24 Preludes No.19 Allegretto Op.38-19

The 19th piece from Kabalevsky’s 24 Preludes. Built around the light, lively motion suggested by Allegretto, it unfolds through concise phrases that create a sense of continuous movement. The clear melodic profile and rhythmic character of the accompaniment are central to its appeal, while the repetition and exchange of short motifs invite close listening. In performance, avoid rushing the tempo and maintain a buoyant pulse while clearly shaping the direction of each phrase. Rather than keeping the dynamics uniform, allow the melody to emerge naturally and give the music a focused character within its lightness.
