🇷🇺Modest Petrovich Mussorgsky ： Sonata in C-Dur

Mussorgsky’s Sonata in C-Dur is a work for piano four hands that invites close attention to the dialogue between the two players and the blending of their sonorities. Following the melodies and accompanying figures as they pass between the parts makes it easier to grasp the musical flow and the character of each section. It is important to keep the main melody clear, distinguish the inner voices and bass, and adjust the balance while maintaining an overview of the overall structure. Carefully coordinating the shared breath at entrances, the ends of phrases, and the finer articulations brings out the unity characteristic of four-hand playing. The performers should listen closely to one another, avoid blurred pedaling, and preserve a sense of lightness and forward motion.
