🇩🇪Felix Mendelssohn ： Songs Without Words Book3 Evening Star in Es-Dur MWV U 121 Op.38-1

Supported by a flowing accompaniment, the right-hand melody unfolds in a singing manner, giving this piece a concise and approachable character. Short phrases respond to one another as the music moves forward, while changes in the range and motion of the melody and accompaniment create a natural sense of contour. When listening, pay attention to the passing of the principal melody and to the resonance of the inner voices. In performance, maintain a gentle legato in the melody, keep the accompaniment light and even, and allow a slight breath at the ends of phrases. Use the pedal carefully, changing it in accordance with the harmony so that the sound does not become blurred.
