🇷🇺Dmitri Borisovich Kabalevsky ： 30 Children’s Pieces No.22 Tale Op.27-22

Kabalevsky’s “Tale” is a miniature that condenses scenes and movement capable of stimulating a child’s imagination into a brief span of music. Centered on a melody that seems to speak, changes in dynamics and rhythm suggest shifts in the scene. Rather than overemphasizing a large-scale structure, it is important to shape the breathing of each phrase carefully and clarify the direction of the melody and the role of the accompaniment. In quiet passages, keep the tone gentle; in more active sections, retain a sense of lightness. Shaping the piece naturally as one complete tale brings out its charm.
