🇩🇪Ludwig van Beethoven ： Waltz WoO85

Beethoven’s Waltz WoO85 is a solo piano piece that brings out the light, flowing motion of triple meter and the appeal of an approachable melody. Within its concise writing, the roles of the melody and accompaniment are clearly distinguished, while the grouping and repetition of phrases shape the musical flow. A point to listen for is the way the melody unfolds naturally as the gentle sway of the waltz pulse is sustained. In performance, it is important not to make the left hand too heavy and to keep the melody in the right hand smooth. Rather than overemphasizing the accents, performers should use light articulation and subtle dynamic shading to convey the refined character of a dance.
