🇷🇺Mily Alekseyevich Balakirev ： Waltz Impromptu No.3 in D-Dur

Built on the light triple meter of a waltz, this piece brings together the free-flowing character of an impromptu and the appeal of a songful melody. As the roles of melody and accompaniment shift, elegant passages contrast with more animated writing, giving the music a sense of movement. Its highlights include the expansive lyricism of moments when the melody comes to the fore, as well as the supple sway of the music while the waltz pulse remains intact. In performance, keep the left hand’s three-beat pattern light and steady, allowing the right-hand melody to sing fully. Do not rush ornamental notes or delicate figurations; shape each phrase naturally toward its peak, and coordinate the pedal with harmonic changes so that the sound remains clear. This brings out both the brilliance and the improvisatory lightness of the piece.
