🇩🇪Felix Mendelssohn ： Vivace in c-moll MWV.U52

Mendelssohn’s Vivace in C minor, MWV.U52, is a character piece that condenses drive and tension into a concise form. While maintaining the brisk momentum suggested by Vivace, clarity in each small movement helps define the musical outline. Dynamic changes should be shaped not only through volume, but also with careful attention to the direction of each phrase and the flow of the harmony. Listening closely to the roles of the two hands, and allowing the melody to emerge over a light accompaniment, brings out an expressive quality without making the music feel hurried. Attention to the divisions and breathing points of the short phrases adds flexibility to its energetic character.
