🇷🇺Nikolai Karlovich Medtner ： Forgotten Melodies Book 2 Meditation Op.39-1

Meditation evokes quiet introspection, condensing Medtner’s delicate lyricism and richly shaded harmonic sensibility into a small-scale piece. Within its calm flow, the melody breathes gently, while the music deepens through subtle changes in sonority. It is important to shape the piece as one long breath and to maintain a clear sense of where each phrase is heading. Keep the inner voices and accompaniment figures restrained, allowing the melody to emerge with care; use the pedal only as far as the resonance remains clear, so that the delicate expression and lingering afterglow can come to life.
