Abendlied
Grade 2

Vertical Divider

This piece features phrasing with combined legato and detaché techniques. Furthermore, the slow tempo and long phrases require a thoughtful and well-controlled use of the bow. Imitative voices traded between instruments invite each section to articulate their entrances thus keeping the forward motion alive. Finally, although the dynamics remain mostly in the range of p or mp -- mf or f, there are moments of ff and pp (especially at the end) with crescendo and diminuendo markings throughout which are crucial for bringing out the expressive and poetic nature of the piece.
