🇦🇹Franz Peter Schubert ： Polonaise No.1 in d-moll D 824 Op.61

Centered on the characteristic rhythmic tread of the polonaise, this piano duet combines a poised dance character with Schubert’s gift for lyrical expression. The theme is presented clearly, while repetitions and contrasting ideas create variety throughout the music. A particular point of interest is the interaction between primo and secondo: rather than dividing melody and accompaniment in a fixed manner, the two parts pass ideas between one another and respond to each other. In performance, it is important to keep the meter steady while maintaining a light, unforced step, and to shape the direction of the melody with care while clarifying the movement of the inner voices. Balancing elegance and shading without exaggerating dynamic contrasts brings out the work’s appeal.
