🇭🇺Ernst von Dohnányi ： 6 Pieces The Little Waterfall Op.41-4

The fourth piece, “The Little Waterfall,” from Dohnányi’s *6 Pieces* is a light and delicate character piece that suggests the ceaseless flow of water evoked by its title. Its appeal lies in maintaining the continuity of the finely flowing notes while carefully bringing out the changing character of the melody and sonorities. Treating the overall motion as a unified whole and allowing the melody, which can easily be obscured by the right-hand movement, to sing clearly are important aspects of the interpretation. Use the pedal with care to avoid blurring the sound, and employ an even fingertip touch and a light articulation to convey a transparent sense of flow. It is also important to preserve natural breathing rather than fixing the tempo mechanically.
