🇳🇴Edvard Grieg ： Lyric Pieces Book 10 Summer Evening Op.71-2

Grieg’s “Summer Evening,” from Book 10 of the Lyric Pieces, is a miniature that conveys a calm mood and an intimate lyricism. A flowing melody in the right hand is supported by a gentle accompaniment in the left, and the music unfolds with a spacious, breathing quality. Listening for the exchange of melodic lines and changes of register reveals subtle shifts of expression within its concise form. In performance, it is important to preserve the pulse while carefully shaping the peaks of each phrase and keeping the inner voices and accompaniment restrained. The pedal should be used delicately in accordance with the harmonic changes so that the resonance remains clear and the quiet afterglow can emerge.
