🇩🇪Robert Schumann ： Six Studies after Paganini Caprices No.2 in E-Dur Op.3-2

This study transforms virtuoso material derived from a Paganini Caprice into movement and sonority distinctive to the piano. As the finely articulated notes proceed in an unbroken flow, the exchange between voices and changes in dynamics shape the musical line. A key point is to sustain the overall momentum while clearly articulating the divisions between phrases. Rather than pursuing speed alone, listen carefully to the clarity of each note and the changing harmonies, and play lightly with the wrists and arms free of tension. This allows the lyrical quality beneath the brilliant virtuosity to emerge. In addition to keeping the details even, an awareness of the direction and expression of the melody leads to a convincing performance.
