🇷🇺Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky ： Souvenir d’un cher Scherzo Op.2-2

This approachable scherzo is driven by delicate, lively motion throughout. Short motifs are passed lightly between phrases, while clear rhythms and crisp phrasing give the music a buoyant character. The main section returns after a contrasting middle section, and the changes in expression along the way deserve close attention. In performance, it is important not to let the tempo run away, but to articulate each note clearly while balancing the lightness of the staccato with the singing quality of the melody. Careful balance between the hands and well-shaped dynamic contrasts further bring out the work’s vitality.
