🇩🇪Robert Schumann ： Piano Sonata No.2 in g-moll Op.22

Built around a fast and highly charged first movement, the sonata follows a four-movement design: a songful second movement, a scherzo driven by sharp rhythms, and a finale that presses forward with great momentum. Intense propulsion alternates with lyrical melody, while each section has a clearly defined character. In the first movement, rapid passages should remain clear, with careful attention to the inner voices so that the musical flow is sustained. The second movement calls for a fully singing melodic line, while the scherzo benefits from lightness and crisp accents. In the finale, rather than relying on speed alone, shaping the harmonic changes and the direction of each phrase brings the tension of the entire work into relief.
