🇩🇪Felix Mendelssohn ： Songs Without Words Book7 Elegy in D-Dur MWV U 190 Op.85-4

A songful melody is joined by a gently flowing accompaniment, creating a work of quiet poignancy and warm lyricism. At the opening, the melody should emerge with a natural sense of breath, while the accompaniment maintains a steady flow with restrained volume. In the middle section, it is important to listen closely to the changing sonorities and handle the exchanges between the melody and inner voices with care. When the character of the main theme is felt again, it is preferable not simply to reproduce the opening, but to add a deeper quality, as though shaped by what has come before. Use the pedal carefully, clearing it with each harmonic change to avoid blurring; keep the delicate motion free of excessive force and allow the resonance to bring the piece to a quiet close.
