🇫🇮Jean Sibelius ： 6 Impromptus – Lento – Vivace Op.5-2

The second piece from Sibelius’s 6 Impromptus is a compact work marked by the contrast between a spacious Lento and an energetic Vivace. In the opening section, the flow of the melody and the changing harmony should be shaped with care, preserving the resonance while creating a quiet sense of tension. In the latter section, the rhythmic motion and forward drive should remain lively without becoming rushed. A clear contrast in tempo and expression between the two sections, careful voicing of the inner parts, and clean pedaling help bring out the work’s overall continuity and transparency.
