🇫🇷Claude Debussy ： Caprice (Saint-Saëns)

This arrangement for piano four hands invites the two performers to exchange roles across a single keyboard, bringing out delicate motion and a lively sense of flow. The melodic voice and accompanimental figures alternate, making the changing musical character one of its main points of interest. It is important to shape the work as a whole while coordinating the peaks of phrases and the timing of rests. Rather than presenting the figures mechanically, clarify the differences in articulation and carefully balance the players’ dynamics and pedaling. This brings out the transparent sonority and the sense of musical conversation. A flexible breath that responds to each passage, while maintaining the tempo, is especially effective.
