🇷🇺Mily Alekseyevich Balakirev ： Tarantella in H-Dur

This Tarantella combines the buoyant rhythm of a lively dance with brilliant virtuosity, creating a vivid sense of motion. The intricate activity of the right and left hands continually interweaves, while sharp accents and wide-ranging passages drive the music forward. A key point for the listener is the way the melody emerges within the flow, alongside clearly shaped changes in dynamics and texture from one passage to another. In performance, it is important not to pursue speed alone, but to preserve the lift of the beat and the crispness of the rhythm while keeping the rapid figures even. The pedal should be used sparingly to avoid blurring the resonance, allowing lightness and brilliance to coexist.
