🇳🇴Edvard Grieg ： Three Piano Pieces Continued Dance

“Continued Dance,” from Grieg’s Three Piano Pieces, is a miniature whose dance-like character invites the listener to focus on its uninterrupted sense of motion. Paying attention to the momentum created by the exchange and repetition of short phrases makes the musical flow easier to grasp. Its appeal lies in the changes of expression within the lightness and the contrasts between individual sections. In performance, it is important to preserve the spring of the beat, keep the melody from being obscured, and shape changes in dynamics carefully. Rather than rushing the tempo, balance the accompaniment and pedal so that the dancing gesture can continue naturally.
