🇷🇺Dmitri Dmitriyevich Shostakovich ： Children’s Notebook No.4 Merry Tale Op.69-4

This short piece is marked by lively motion and a humorous character. Brief musical ideas appear one after another, while subtle rhythmic changes and accents give the narrative a brisk, engaging flow. The music unfolds with a clear, transparent texture, and its contrasts, like changes of scene, are among its attractions. In performance, it is important not only to maintain the tempo but also to coordinate the length and accents of each note carefully. Vivid dynamic contrasts should be brought out without making the sound too heavy; preserving a lightness and wit allows the piece’s charm to emerge.
