🇩🇪Robert Schumann ： Albumblatter Fantasie c-moll Op.124-14

The 14th piece from Albumblätter, Fantasie, is a miniature that condenses Schumann’s characteristic introspection and dramatic tension into a brief span. Its musical flow continually changes expression, and one of its attractions lies in the contrast between passages suggesting quiet reflection and moments in which emotion presses forward. The melody should be brought clearly to the foreground against the accompaniment, while careful attention should also be paid to the movement of the inner voices. Shape dynamics not merely as changes in volume, but as breaths responding to harmonic changes, and use the pedal carefully so that the sonority does not become blurred. A steady yet unhurried pulse will help bring out both the dreamlike atmosphere and the underlying tension.
