🇷🇺Nikolai Karlovich Medtner ： Forgotten Melodies Book 3 Flower Dance Op.40-3

Medtner’s “Flower Dance” from Forgotten Melodies Book 3 is a miniature marked by light dance-like motion and a singing melody. Within its concise span, the rhythmic drive and melodic expression shift, creating an interplay of brilliance and suppleness. In performance, careful articulation is essential to clarify the gestures of the dance, while the melody should be brought out with care so that it does not disappear into the inner voices or accompaniment. Maintain the tempo while shaping a broad range of dynamics from one passage to the next, bringing a distinctive Medtner-like shading to the music’s liveliness.
