🇦🇹Franz Peter Schubert ： Allegro moderato and Andante in C-Dur D 968

Making full use of the sonority of piano four hands, this work invites listeners to appreciate the contrasting characters of the Allegro moderato and the Andante. The Allegro moderato is distinguished by its measured forward momentum and bright, expansive flow, while the Andante brings a calm lyricism and lingering expressiveness to the foreground. Across the two sections, listen for the exchanges of melody and accompaniment between the primo and secondo parts. In performance, it is important to balance the individual voices so that the melody does not become obscured. By avoiding a rushed tempo, coordinating the players’ breathing, and discussing pedaling and articulation while keeping the sound clear, the work’s intimate dialogue can be conveyed.
