Franz Peter Schubert ： Polonaise No.6 in E-Dur D 824 Op.61

This piano duet in E major combines a bright, poised atmosphere with the dignified triple-meter gait characteristic of a polonaise. Its melodies are approachable, while exchanges between the parts and changes of register create a natural sense of breadth. Highlights include the presentation of the graceful main theme and the changes of expression as the musical scenes shift. In performance, it is important not to overemphasize the first beat, but to maintain the buoyancy and flow of a dance. A well-balanced relationship between primo and secondo, a clearly singing melody, and careful shaping of ornamental motion and harmonic changes bring out the music’s refinement and intimacy.
