🇦🇹Franz Peter Schubert ： 34 Valses sentimentales No.22 in G-Dur D779 Op.50

No. 22 from Schubert’s Valses sentimentales is a short piece shaped by a gentle triple-meter flow and a lyrical, approachable melody. The combination of the right-hand melody with the left hand’s bass-and-chord waltz accompaniment forms the foundation of the music, while the compact melodic phrases and the natural coherence created by their repetition provide much of its appeal. In performance, avoid exaggerating the sway of the meter, keep the melody legato and cantabile, and maintain a light, well-balanced accompaniment. A slight breath at the ends of phrases can bring out the piece’s intimate simplicity and delicate expression.
