🇷🇺Sergei Rachmaninov ： Scherzo in D-Dur Op.11-2

This Scherzo makes full use of the rich sonority of piano four hands, with light, energetic rhythms driving the music forward. Short motifs seem to pass from one player to the other, while forceful episodes alternate with contrasting passages that soften the momentum, creating vivid changes of character. A particular attraction lies in the way the two performers coordinate the intricate movement and give the overlapping sounds a three-dimensional quality. In performance, it is important to share a clear sense of rhythmic drive and light articulation, while using the pedal carefully so that the sound remains clear even in louder passages. Clarifying the exchange of the main melody and listening closely to the role of each voice brings out the music’s brilliance and tension.
