🇩🇪Robert Schumann ： Ball-Scenen Polonaise Op.109-2

The second piece in Ball-Scenen, this piano duet is marked by the stately tread characteristic of a polonaise and a brilliant sense of momentum suggestive of a formal ball. Listening for the contrast between the principal section built from powerful chords and passages marked by changes in expression and register makes the musical flow easier to grasp. The upper part should present the melody clearly, while the lower part supports the weight and stability of the beat; the two performers should also coordinate the placement of accents. Maintaining a tread that does not become too heavy and listening for the inner voices within the brilliant sonority will produce a more three-dimensional performance.
