Barcarola Op. 23

About this work

The Barcarola rests on a regular rocking motion that must remain present without becoming mechanical. Above it, the melody stretches its stresses and crosses bar lines; its calm depends on that difference between framework and breath.

Practise the left hand alone while directing it across several bars. Then add the upper line with a freer touch, locating the notes that genuinely need to emerge from the chords.

Change pedal with the bass while retaining important sustained notes with the fingers. Crescendos will benefit from following the whole phrase rather than underlining each ascent separately.
