Dmitri Borisovich Kabalevsky ： 30 Children’s Pieces No.28 Caprice Op.27-28

This piece, No. 28 from 30 Children’s Pieces, is a light and witty caprice. The exchange of short phrases and changes in rhythm create a restless character, while sudden dynamic contrasts and accents within its bright motion add a touch of spice to the music. In performance, it is important to shape the direction of each phrase and keep the notes even without becoming mechanical. The lively passages should not be rushed; rests and accents should be clearly observed, and the contrasting character of each section should be conveyed efficiently so that the piece’s sense of play comes to the fore.
