🇩🇪Robert Schumann ： Waldszenen Verrufene Stelle d-moll Op.82-4

The fourth piece from Schumann’s Waldszenen conveys the impression of an ominous place suggested by its title through restrained motion and harmonies charged with tension. The music begins quietly, with hesitant progressions and shifting shades of expression, creating a sense of changing scenes within its concise form. It is important to shape subtle fluctuations in expression and dynamics while bringing out the exchanges between voices and the movement of the inner parts. The pedal should be used carefully so that the sonority does not become blurred. Maintaining the slow tempo while allowing the tension between rests and chords to be felt brings out the unease and dreamlike quality within the stillness.
