🇫🇷Jacques Ibert ： Little Suite on 15 Images Romance

Within Little Suite on 15 Images, “Romance” is a miniature that places an expressive melody at the forefront. Rather than relying on abrupt contrasts, it creates an intimate, poetic atmosphere through the interplay of melody and accompaniment. Within its brief span, it is important to shape the overall flow while carefully refining the peaks and breathing points of each phrase. The right-hand melody should be played in a singing manner, while the inner voices and accompaniment remain subdued. Keeping the pedal from clouding the sonority brings out the delicate expression and transparency. The dynamic changes should not be exaggerated; this is a piece to perform while listening closely to the resonance as it fades.
