🇩🇪Felix Mendelssohn ： Impromptu in e-moll MWV.U140

As is characteristic of Mendelssohn’s impromptu style, singing melodies meet lightly flowing passages, creating an intimate yet lively character. The piece maintains a continuous sense of motion, while its appeal lies in the contrast between gentler sections centered on the melody and passages where delicate movement comes to the fore. In performance, the right-hand melody should remain smooth and prominent, while the accompaniment and inner voices are kept carefully subdued. Use the pedal with moderation so that the texture remains clear, and avoid excessive tempo fluctuations; shaping the music according to the natural breathing of each phrase brings out both its improvisatory freedom and its refined beauty.
