🇷🇺Mily Alekseyevich Balakirev ： Waltz No.6 in fis-moll

Balakirev’s Waltz No. 6 in F-sharp minor is a piano piece shaped by the sway of triple meter, with a singing melody and finely shaded harmonic changes. Within the flowing character of the waltz, the main melody seems to change expression as it is passed between phrases, while the contrast between quiet passages and more brilliant motion provides much of its appeal. In performance, it is important to keep the left-hand accompaniment light while allowing the right-hand melody to sing fully. Distinguishing the character of each section and using the pedal carefully, without clouding the sound, brings out the music’s elegance and expressive nuance.
