Dmitri Borisovich Kabalevsky ： 30 Children’s Pieces No.1 Like a Waltz Op.27-1

This short piece is marked by a light, waltz-like flow and an approachable melody. Its concise phrases unfold naturally, while subtle changes of expression bring brightness and variety to the music. The right-hand melody should be sustained in a singing manner, while the left-hand accompaniment supports the rhythmic sway without becoming heavy. Avoid overemphasizing the accents, and pay attention to the beginnings and endings of phrases to bring out a nimble dance character. Use the pedal sparingly so that the sound does not become blurred, and balance the volume between melody and accompaniment for a clear, transparent performance.
