Felix Mendelssohn ： Fantasia for Piano Duet in d-moll MWV.T 1

Written for piano four hands, this fantasia brings out rich sonorities and expressive contrasts as the two players share the registers and musical roles. Within its freely developing design, singing melodies and passages full of movement emerge, making the changing scenes a particular point of interest. The players should listen carefully to the exchanges between voices and the changes in harmony, while coordinating the direction and breathing of each phrase rather than simply pressing forward with momentum. The primo and secondo should also maintain a balanced sound, shaping the work as a unified musical whole through careful agreement on pedaling and articulation.
