🇷🇺Igor Fyodorovitch Stravinsky ： Five Fingers No.1

The first piece in Stravinsky’s collection *Five Fingers*. Using a limited range and concise musical material, it creates a distinctive profile through the transfer of sounds and the arrangement of rhythms, rather than relying on simplicity alone. It is important to hear how the short phrases follow one another and form coherent units. In practice, do not merely aim for evenly balanced notes; maintain the flow of the beat while shaping the beginnings and endings of phrases. Keep the performance light and agile, and carefully refine the resonance even in softer passages to bring out the piece’s understated character.
