🇦🇹Franz Peter Schubert ： 34 Valses sentimentales No.28 in c-moll D779 Op.50

No. 28 from Schubert’s Valses sentimentales is a compact miniature that combines a songful melody with the flowing triple meter characteristic of the waltz. The right-hand melody takes the lead while the left-hand accompaniment supports the dance-like motion. Listening for the changing expression from phrase to phrase reveals delicate shades within the work’s poised writing. In performance, the meter should not be marked mechanically; a natural flexibility that follows the melody’s breathing is essential. Pay attention as well to the inner voices and harmonic changes, and use the pedal sparingly enough to keep the sound clear while preserving both lightness and feeling.
