Felix Mendelssohn ： 3 Fantaisies or caprices Fantasia No.1 in a-moll MWV.U70 Op.16

The piece moves from an introduction filled with quiet tension into a faster section, as lyrical melodies and vigorous passagework alternate throughout. Even within its concise span, clear changes of pace and expression emerge, making the contrast between singing melodic lines and finely articulated movement a central attraction. In the opening, carefully bring out the exchange between the voices while sustaining the resonance of the chords. In the faster section, keep the passagework light and even. Avoid rushing the change of tempo, shape the dynamics broadly, and keep the inner voices from being obscured to balance tension with transparency.
