🇷🇺Anatoly Konstantinovich Lyadov ： 6 Pieces Mazurka Op.3-6

Included in Lyadov’s Six Pieces, this is a compact mazurka. Its dance-like triple-meter rhythm provides the foundation, while the placement of accents and the breathing of each phrase create its character. The contrast between the songful melody and the light movement of the accompaniment, along with the subtle sway within the flow of the beat, are among its highlights. In performance, avoid weighing down the strong beats; instead, preserve the springiness of the dance while carefully shaping the length of each note. Bringing the melody clearly to the fore and using the pedal sparingly to avoid blurring the sound will result in a poised and lively interpretation.
