🇩🇪Felix Mendelssohn ： Cello Sonata No.1 in B-Dur MWV Q27 Op.45

A four-movement sonata in which the cello and piano engage in an equal dialogue, combining clear forward momentum with lyricism. In the lively presentation of the first movement, the exchange between the two instruments and the incisiveness of its rhythms are especially rewarding to hear. The slow movement calls for careful shaping of the melody’s breath and harmonic changes, while the later movements draw on lightness and energy. Even when taking an accompanying role, the pianist should not merely reduce the volume, but clarify the inner voices and bass that support the cello’s melody and preserve the flow of the dialogue. Throughout the work, attentive articulation, natural phrasing, and a steady tempo help convey its poise and vitality.
