🇷🇺Anatoly Konstantinovich Lyadov ： 4 Pieces Temptation Op.64-3

This miniature by Lyadov condenses the sense of a wavering inner state into a brief span of music. Its singing melody and subtle harmonic shifts stand close together, while a feeling of hesitation and tension can be sensed beneath the lightness of its movement. Rather than overemphasizing clear divisions, it is important to preserve the breathing of the phrases and allow the melody to emerge naturally above the accompaniment. The pedal should be adjusted from passage to passage so that the sound does not become blurred; by keeping the small figures unhurried and shaping the dynamic changes and resonance with care, the delicate expression suggested by the title comes into focus.
