Frederic Chopin ： Printemps g-moll Op.74-2

This character piece is distinguished by its songful melody, tinged with the shading of G minor. While conveying the gentle, familiar feeling of spring, it is also colored throughout by the subtle melancholy characteristic of the minor mode. The music unfolds naturally through the interplay between melody and accompaniment, and the changing expressions from one passage to another are among its attractions. In performance, the melody should be allowed to sing fully while the accompaniment remains light and soft. Careful pedaling that avoids blurring the harmony, together with nuanced dynamics and a clear sense of phrase direction, brings out its delicate, poetic atmosphere.
