🇩🇪Johannes Brahms ： Sixteen Waltzes No.7 in cis-moll Op.39-7

No. 7 from Brahms’s Sixteen Waltzes condenses lyricism and subtle shading into a compact span. While maintaining a flowing triple meter, the right-hand melody unfolds in a songful manner, supported by the dance-like steps of the left-hand accompaniment. As the theme is presented and repeated, the character shifts, while changes in dynamics and harmony add depth. It is important to keep the melody from being covered by inner voices or accompaniment and to let each phrase breathe naturally toward its destination. Use the pedal to connect the sound while avoiding blurring; balancing a light sense of pulse with delicate shading brings out the beauty of the concise writing.
