🇦🇹Franz Peter Schubert ： Polonaise No.3 in E-Dur D 599 Op.75-3

One of Schubert’s polonaises for piano four hands, this piece is characterized by a rhythm suggestive of the polonaise’s graceful stride and by an approachable, lyrical melody. As the melodic and accompanimental roles alternate, the music unfolds through clearly shaped phrases and changes of expression from one passage to the next. Keep the beat light and flowing, while allowing the melody to sing freely. Matching the two players’ dynamics and articulation, and keeping the accompaniment suitably restrained, brings out the dance’s elegant character. Listen carefully to the inner voices, and avoid rushing the cadences so that the final resonance can be shaped with care.
