“Love Song,” one of the pieces in 3 Sketches, is a lyrical piano miniature shaped by a songlike melody and delicate harmonic changes, creating an intimate atmosphere. Listening for the exchange of melodic lines and the shifting colors of the harmony reveals the changing expressions contained within this brief work. In performance, the melody should be brought clearly to the foreground while preserving the natural breath of each phrase, and the pedal should be used carefully so that the sonorities do not become overly blurred. Rather than holding the tempo rigidly, allow natural pauses and subtle flexibility to convey its intimate, singing character.
