🇷🇺Mily Alekseyevich Balakirev ： The Spinner in g-moll

The succession of delicate notes suggests the movement of hands spinning thread, while a shaded melody emerges above the continuously flowing figuration. A key point to listen for is the changing expression created by shifts in register and dynamics, while the underlying sense of motion is maintained. The piece can be understood as a single continuous flow, yet subtle details greatly affect its impression. In performance, keep the small notes even without rushing, and clearly distinguish the roles of melody and accompaniment. Use the pedal carefully so that the sonority does not become blurred, preserving a touch of softness within the taut movement.
