🇩🇪Clara Schumann ： Lotus Flower Op.25-7

A piano arrangement by Clara Schumann based on a song by Schumann. A calm, lyrical melody lies at the center, while the flowing accompaniment quietly supports its expressive character. Listening to the presentation of the melody and to the changing harmonies and layers of sound that surround it reveals the piece’s shifting atmosphere. In performance, the right-hand melody should be allowed to breathe with a vocal quality, while the left hand and inner voices remain carefully restrained. Use the pedal to sustain the resonance without making the texture cloudy, and shape phrase endings and changes of expression with care to bring out the music’s delicate feeling.
