🇷🇺Nikolai Karlovich Medtner ： Forgotten Melodies Book 3 Dance of Joy Op.40-4

Included in Book 3 of Forgotten Melodies, this short piece brings a sense of vitality and radiant joy to the fore. Its lively flow, singing melodic character, and buoyant rhythmic energy are among its principal attractions. It is important to perceive the changes of character between sections while maintaining momentum throughout. In performance, keep the intricate movement clear and coordinated without making the accents too forceful, allowing the melody to emerge from the inner voices and accompaniment. Use the pedal carefully to avoid blurring the sonority, and shape the gradations of dynamics and the direction of each phrase with care so that the feeling of joy comes across naturally.
