Dmitri Borisovich Kabalevsky ： 24 Preludes No.3 Vivace Op.38-3

No. 3 from Kabalevsky’s “24 Preludes” is distinguished by a light, lively sense of motion suited to its Vivace indication. Short musical ideas seem to pass clearly from one to another, while the concise design conveys rhythmic drive and changes of expression. A particular highlight is the vitality created by the quick movements and the vivid accents that emerge within the flow. In performance, it is important not to pursue speed alone, but to keep a firm pulse while treating each note lightly and clearly. Natural contrasts in dynamics and forward momentum will bring out the work’s cheerful, energetic character.
