🇷🇺Dmitri Dmitriyevich Shostakovich ： 24 Preludes No.3 in G-Dur Op.34-3

This prelude builds on short phrases, tracing subtle changes of expression within a calm, flowing character. Listening for the different registers and roles of the melody and accompaniment reveals a depth beneath its concise writing. It is important to shape each phrase with a natural sense of breath and to preserve the direction of the melody even in softer passages. Keep the accompaniment from sounding hard, balance the voices carefully, and bring out the changing harmonies and nuanced inflections with clarity to highlight the work’s delicate appeal.
