The
moving melody of this ensemble piano piece sings
a melancholy song in the secondo, with sustained,
four-measure phrasing. The theme is lightly
answered with dancing eighth notes in the primo,
which add depth of expression. A countermelody
is introduced in time for primo to take over
the theme. Consider this waltz as a wonderful
invitation to experience the sweep of 3/4 meter,
and its dramatic effects. |
