🇦🇹Franz Peter Schubert ： Galopp and 8 Ecossaises in C-Dur D735 Op.49

Included in Schubert’s dance collection Galopp and 8 Ecossaises, this galopp is appealing for its lively sense of motion. Rhythms suggesting light, springing steps drive the music forward, while the exchange and repetition of short phrases give it a clear outline. Highlights include the subtle dynamic changes within its momentum and the shifts of expression at each phrase boundary. In performance, avoid pursuing speed alone: maintain a light touch without placing too much weight on the beats, and pay attention to the balance between the hands and the space created by the rests. These choices bring out the dance’s buoyancy and freshness.
