🇩🇪Johannes Brahms ： Sixteen Waltzes No.12 in E-Dur Op.39-12

Within its light three-beat flow, a singing melody is set above a simple accompaniment, creating an approachable character and a poised sense of balance. The music unfolds through a succession of short phrases, and the subtle changes in the melodic movement and harmony provide much of its appeal. In performance, avoid pressing too heavily on the first beat; keep the left-hand bass and chords light so that the right-hand melody can emerge clearly. Use the pedal carefully to prevent the sound from becoming blurred, and maintain a natural breath through the ends of the phrases to bring out the waltz’s graceful dance character.
