🇭🇺Ernst von Dohnányi ： 6 Concert Etudes Capriccio in f-moll Op.28

The Capriccio from Dohnányi’s Six Concert Etudes combines the technical demands of an étude with the wit and expressive character of a work intended for the concert stage. Brilliant passages featuring finely detailed motion and leaps drive the music forward, while changes in dynamics and accents add an element of surprise. Rather than pressing ahead with one unbroken momentum, the performer should distinguish the character of each passage and bring the principal melody to the foreground against the accompaniment. Avoiding excessive speed while preserving lightness and clarity, vivid fingerwork and sensitive pedaling can reveal the shifting expressions and highlight the work’s appeal.
