🇷🇺Anatoly Konstantinovich Lyadov ： 4 Preludes in fis-moll Op.13-4

The fourth piece in Lyadov’s 4 Preludes condenses tension and lyricism into a brief span. Within its concise writing, the melody emerges clearly, while changes in harmony and register shape the expression. From the opening, avoid rushing the flow of the notes; clarify the roles of melody and accompaniment and give the melodic line a distinct direction. Rather than exaggerating the dynamics, carefully shape the peaks and lingering resonance of each phrase to bring out the subtle shading born of quiet tension. Use the pedal with each harmony in mind so that the sound does not become blurred, and maintain concentration through the final notes.
