Berceuse, Op.105

Assigned an overall Advanced rating (advanced concert artist standard (ABRSM Diploma / ARCT syllabus)), the composition exercises manual independence. The central obstacle centers on controlling multi-voiced polyphony, executing wide octave reaches without tension, and sustaining velocity. In performing broken classical triad figures and balanced inner dialogue, keep finger knuckles rounded and poised. For acoustic hygiene, use light, shallow pedaling to enhance acoustic warmth without muddling inner voices. Recommended Exercise: practice rapid runs in diverse rhythmic groupings (dotted-eighth and sixteenth pairs) to eliminate finger lag.
