Medtner’s “Tale [Scherzo]” is a short piece from the Romantic Sketches for the Young, marked by lively motion and an expressive character that suggests a story. Its agile scherzo-like rhythms propel the music forward, while the contrast between energetic passages and moments of sudden repose provides much of its appeal. Clear exchanges between the smaller musical figures and well-defined accents are important, but the phrases should not sound rigidly chopped up. Maintaining a flexible tempo and connecting dynamic changes naturally, without exaggeration, allows the work’s distinctive storytelling manner to emerge from its playful motion. Keep the right hand light and the left hand driving, using the pedal sparingly so that the sound remains clear.
