🇩🇪Felix Mendelssohn ： Capriccio Brillant in h-moll MWV.O8 Op.22

Written for solo piano and orchestra, this concerto-like work brings together brilliant virtuosity and lyrical expression. After a measured introduction, it moves into a lively, technically demanding main section, driven by the solo piano’s intricate motion and its exchanges with the orchestra. Highlights include the transitions from singing melodies to light, vivid passagework, as well as the mounting tension toward the close. In performance, the introduction calls for natural breathing and a singing melodic line, while the faster sections require clearly articulated notes, rhythmic precision, and a buoyant sense of motion.
