No.3 of the set continues the exploration of intimate emotional states, utilizing thicker chordal textures than the preceding pieces. The harmonic language is richer, providing more opportunity for coloristic voicing.
At Henle 4 this is an intermediate piece that expects secure technique and real attention to phrasing. The main demands: a true singing tone, with the melody floating above the accompaniment; chord voicing — bringing out one note inside a handful of others; and sweeping arpeggio figures that must stay smooth across positions.
Practice the left-hand arpeggios separately to ensure they remain even and subdued under the melody.
