🇩🇪Felix Mendelssohn ： Piano Quartet No.3 in h-moll MWV Q17 Op.3

This chamber work unfolds through an equal dialogue between the piano and strings, combining tension with lyrical expression. It is laid out in four movements: the outer movements develop driving themes and finely crafted exchanges, while the inner movements provide a contrast through singing melodies and light, agile movement. The piano writing calls for brilliant technique and nimble passagework, but the pianist should avoid standing out too prominently, adjusting volume and touch while listening to the strings’ tone and phrasing. Clearly distinguishing the character of each movement and maintaining a shared ensemble breath allows the work’s structural clarity and youthful energy to emerge vividly.
