🇩🇪Felix Mendelssohn ： 7 Character Pieces No.1 in e-moll MWV.U44 Op.7-1

As indicated by the direction “gently and expressively,” this miniature places emphasis on a calm breathing quality and inward expression. Its songful melody is closely connected with the accompanying texture, allowing subtle changes of feeling to emerge within a concise span. A central point of interest is the uninterrupted flow of the melody and its natural movement toward each phrase’s expressive peak. The right hand should be played smoothly with a clear sense of voicing, while the left hand supports the meter with restraint. Use the pedal carefully in accordance with the harmonic changes so that the resonance remains clear.
