Dmitri Dmitriyevich Shostakovich ： 24 Preludes No.7 in A-Dur Op.34-7

This is a compact yet highly concentrated prelude, distinguished by its lively momentum and agile rhythms. In passages of continuous, finely detailed motion, keep the fingertips light and maintain a clear, even articulation without interrupting the flow of the beat. At the same time, it is important not to let the melodies and changes of register within the motion become obscured. A consistent sense of forward movement from the beginning, combined with slight breaths at the ends of phrases, gives the piece overall coherence. Shape the dynamics not only through volume, but also through the placement of accents and changes of touch, allowing the momentum toward the conclusion to emerge naturally.
