🇩🇪Paul Hindemith ： Little Piano Pieces No.3 Op.45-4

No. 3 from Hindemith’s Little Piano Pieces is a miniature that presents the movement of sound and the outline of its rhythm with economy. Hearing the treatment of register and dynamics while perceiving the piece as a unified whole reveals subtle changes of expression within its concise writing. In performance, it is important not to let individual notes become indistinct, but to maintain the flow of the beat and play with clarity. Without rushing the tempo, attention to phrase direction and the balance between voices helps shape the music as lively and intellectually engaging, rather than overly dry in sonority. Sustaining tension through the ends of short phrases and treating rests and note values carefully is also effective.
