🇦🇹Franz Peter Schubert ： 36 Original Dances No.4 in As-Dur D365 Op.9

This waltz conveys Schubert’s characteristic approachability and songful melodic sense within a concise form. While maintaining a steady pulse, the music moves forward naturally through a supporting accompaniment and a succession of short phrases. Its appeal lies in the gentle breaths at the ends of phrases and in the subtle changes of expression created through repetition. In performance, the beat should not be marked mechanically; instead, preserve the buoyancy of a dance while carefully shaping the direction of the melody and the peaks of each phrase. Keep the accompaniment light and clear so that it does not cover the melody, allowing the music’s unpretentious charm to emerge.
