🇷🇺Igor Fyodorovitch Stravinsky ： 3 Easy Pieces Waltz

The “Waltz” from Stravinsky’s *3 Easy Pieces* is a short work that draws on the familiar outline of a dance, inviting listeners to enjoy the interplay and overlapping sonorities of two pianos. While maintaining the characteristic triple-meter flow of a waltz, the music gains a light, lively character through the exchange of parts and the placement of accents. The melodic part should remain clearly defined, while the accompanying part supports it flexibly rather than marking every beat too heavily. Pedaling should be adjusted from one passage to the next to avoid blurred sonorities. A poised ensemble, with both players breathing together, brings out the appeal of the work’s concise writing.
