🇷🇺Dmitri Dmitriyevich Shostakovich ： Aphorisms No.10 Lullaby Op.13-10

The tenth piece in Aphorisms is a concise and introspective lullaby. While it conveys the gentleness suggested by its title, it is not simply sweet; beneath its stillness, one can sense a certain tension and emotional distance. The piece is shaped by a succession of short units, so it is important to distinguish the character of each moment while hearing the work as a whole. In performance, the melody should emerge carefully from the restrained accompaniment. Keep the pedal clear, shape changes in volume without haste, and listen closely to the lingering resonance that gives this closing piece its distinctive aftertaste.
