🇫🇷Jacques Ibert ： Wind over the Ruins

Wind over the Ruins is a color-rich piano piece that seems to move from stillness, where a faint motion begins, toward the impression of wind passing through an open space. One of its chief attractions lies in listening closely to the sonorities created by overlapping sounds and moments of silence. The changes of atmosphere should not be rushed; carefully shaping the melodic line and the distance between melody and accompaniment brings out both the desolate mood and the sense of fluid movement. Beyond dynamics, careful control of pedal depth and the attack of each sound is essential to keep the resonance clear.
