Johannes Brahms ： Fünf KlavierstudienNo.2 after Weber in C-Dur Anh.Ia/1

Based on a rondo by Weber, this piece was arranged by Brahms as a piano study. Within its rondo form, in which the main theme returns repeatedly, it develops a lively sense of momentum and contrasts between its various sections. The rapid passages should be played without excessive tension in the fingers, with clear articulation and an even, well-defined touch. Distinguishing the roles of the main theme and episodes, bringing out the melody in the right hand, and keeping the left hand light and clear will help convey the musical changes while maintaining the flow. Rather than rushing the tempo, performers should carefully shape the gradations of dynamics and the direction of each phrase.
