🇷🇺Sergei Rachmaninov ： Romance f-moll

Centered on a lyrical melody, this Romance moves between intimate expression and rich harmonic changes. From the opening, it is important to shape the melody’s breathing carefully while keeping the accompaniment subdued enough to support the musical flow. In the middle, the character and sonority undergo changes, making the tension toward the climax and the calm that follows key points to hear. Maintaining long melodic lines and being aware of each phrase’s direction brings out a deep emotion without becoming overly sweet. Use the pedal carefully to avoid blurring the harmony, and listen to the inner voices and accompanying motion to create a chamber-like dialogue in the sound.
