🇭🇺Ernst von Dohnányi ： Hungarian Pastorals No.7 in C-Dur Op.32a-7

With its pastoral title, this miniature conveys a gentle character alongside a distinctly Hungarian melodic feeling and Dohnányi’s refined piano writing. Within its concise design, the melody is passed between voices, while the relationship with the accompaniment and changing dynamics shape the music’s expression. The principal melody should be sustained with a singing quality, while the inner voices and accompaniment remain transparent. Use the pedal sparingly, and pay attention to phrasing, breathing, and a natural flexibility of tempo to bring out the balance of simplicity and elegance.
