🇩🇪Felix Mendelssohn ： Piano Sonata in a-moll MWV.U8

Comprising several movements, the sonata contrasts tense, powerful passages with gentler sections in which the melody seems to be passed from one voice to another. In addition to the changing character of each movement, listeners can appreciate how the themes and motifs take on different forms as the music unfolds. In faster passages, keep the momentum while maintaining evenness in the notes, taking care that the rapid movement does not obscure the melody. In quieter sections, avoid muddy pedaling, balance the inner voices and accompaniment, and make the direction of each phrase clear. Throughout the work, allowing dynamic contrasts to develop naturally within the overall flow helps bring the structure into focus.
