Sergei Sergeyevich Prokofiev ： Sonatina No.6 in G-Dur

Within its concise scale, this sonatina concentrates Prokofiev’s characteristic drive and sharp rhythmic vitality. Crisp, clearly articulated motion contrasts with singing melodies that emerge from the lightness, while the changes between sections call for agile shifts of expression. A key point is to grasp the overall structure and maintain the continuity by being aware of how the individual sections connect. In performance, accents should not simply be struck forcefully; it is important to preserve the forward motion of the beat and a buoyant quality while keeping the pedal from clouding the texture. In the gentler passages, a softer tone color can clarify the contrasts and give the brief piece a sense of depth.
