🇫🇷Déodat de Séverac ： Le Chant de la Terre Hailstorm

The third piece, titled “Hailstorm,” is marked by sharp movement and striking contrasts of light and shade that suggest sudden changes in the weather. Fine chains of notes and accents intersect restlessly, while passages of momentum and moments that suggest a brief pause shift the character as the piece unfolds. Viewing the work as one broad progression and clarifying the dynamics and changes of register in each passage brings to life the image of hail pouring down with force. In the rapid motion, keep the wrists supple and the notes light yet well defined, taking care not to let the sound become blurred in louder passages.
