🇫🇮Jean Sibelius ： 3 Sonatinas No.3 in B-flat major Op.67-3

Sibelius’s No. 3 from the 3 Sonatinas condenses lyrical melody and a distinctive harmonic sensibility into a concise musical language. It is laid out in three movements, contrasting the momentum of the opening movement, the calm lyricism of the middle movement, and the lively motion of the finale. It is important to bring out the exchanges between the voices and the changes in harmony with care. Use the pedal sparingly to avoid blurring the sonority, and shape a natural sense of breathing by identifying the climaxes of each phrase. Without rushing the tempo, maintain a soft clarity in the smaller movements to reveal the delicate expression within the work’s refined structure.
