🇩🇪Johannes Brahms ： Hungarian Dance No.14 in d-moll WoO.1

Within its measured pace, this short piece combines the light pulse of a dance with a singing melody touched by a certain shade of melancholy. The music unfolds through exchanges between the melodic line and its accompaniment, while changes of expression from one passage to another provide an important point of interest. The main melody should be allowed to sing, without making the inner voices or accompaniment too heavy. The rhythm should not become mechanical: maintain the flow of the beat while allowing a natural degree of flexibility, and use contrasts in dynamics to bring out both the character of the dance and the melody’s wistful quality.
