🇫🇮Jean Sibelius ： 5 Pieces (The Flowers) – The Daisy Op.85-1

Sibelius’s “The Daisy” is a piano miniature filled with delicate charm and a quietly bright character suggestive of a flower. Within its brief span, a singing melody and light, graceful movement alternate to shape the music, while subtle changes of expression provide much of its appeal. The melody should be allowed to emerge naturally, with the accompaniment kept understated and each note played without excessive hardness. Use the pedal sparingly so that the sound does not become blurred, and aim to convey the piece’s delicate atmosphere through a supple touch and unforced musical breathing.
