🇩🇪Johannes Brahms ： Hungarian Dances Book 2 No.9 in e-moll WoO.1

Energetic rhythms and sharp accents create the driving momentum of a dance. In the main section, which unfolds through a succession of short phrases, the melody and accompaniment should be clearly differentiated; the contrasting passages are especially appealing when changes in tone color and dynamics are brought into relief. The music gains richness when repeated material is given a slight change of expression while the overall flow is maintained. At the piano, it is important to preserve a light, springy motion without making the strong beats too heavy. Precise attention to small accents and rests, together with a supple sense of tempo that never hurries, brings the piece to life.
