🇩🇪Felix Mendelssohn ： Etude(Prelude) in f-moll MWV.U125

Mendelssohn’s Etude (Prelude) in F minor, MWV.U125, is a piano piece that contains concentrated musical movement within a compact form. Its concise ideas shape the flow, and close attention to the movement of the individual voices and changes in harmony brings its expressive character into clearer focus. As an etude, it calls for more than evenness of touch: the melody should be brought out while the accompaniment remains light. Without rushing the tempo, performers should be mindful of the direction and breathing of each phrase, shaping dynamic changes with restraint and care to convey the prelude-like sense of concentration and natural forward motion.
