🇩🇪Felix Mendelssohn ： Andante in D-Dur MWV.U53

This is a concise character piece with a calm and intimate manner of expression. The melody unfolds in a singing style, while subtle shades emerge through its balance with the accompaniment. Rather than emphasizing strong contrasts, the listener can appreciate the breathing of the phrases and the gradual changes in harmony. The piece benefits from being understood as one continuous flow, with a slight lingering resonance at the end of each phrase group to bring out its natural ebb and flow. Support the right-hand melody with a gentle legato, and avoid making the left hand mark the beat too heavily, keeping the sound transparent. Listen carefully to the inner voices as well, allowing a sense of forward motion to remain within the measured tempo.
