🇷🇺Anatoly Konstantinovich Lyadov ： 3 Ballet Pieces Op.52-2

The second piece from Lyadov’s Three Ballet Pieces, it is a miniature marked by a light dance-like character and the intimate appeal of a singing melody. Within its concise texture, the right-hand melody interacts with the left-hand accompaniment, creating subtle shifts in expression. Its highlights include the delicate shades that emerge while the pulse remains steady, as well as the natural breathing of the phrases. In performance, avoid making the sound too heavy and keep the accompaniment restrained; flexible dynamics and natural rubato in the melodic line bring out both its balletic lightness and lyrical quality. The pedal should be used carefully in accordance with the harmonic changes so that the sonority remains clear.
