Isaac Albéniz ： Seven Studies in Major Keys No.5 in E-Dur Op.65-5

No. 5 from Albéniz’s Seven Studies is an etude that develops melodic singing and control of balance rather than placing brilliant virtuosity at the forefront. While clarifying the melodic line and accompanimental movement, the pianist shapes the piece as a continuous flow, with attention to the unity of each phrase. The points of interest include the exchange between voices and the expressive changes created by the harmony. The main challenges are to let the melody resonate fully while keeping the inner voices and accompaniment restrained, and to achieve natural legato together with a steady pulse without relying excessively on the pedal.
