About this work
Intermezzo No. 5 in E minor proceeds Andante con grazia ed intimissimo sentimento. Its material consists of short cells separated by rests, replies and register changes. Nothing is truly static: a sustained note continues inside another voice, a bass prepares the next phrase and a small motif returns with a different inflection.
These two pages demand close attention to duration. Rests do not sever the thought; they allow the harmony to resonate and prepare a reply. The melody sometimes lies on top and sometimes inside the texture. An over-present accompaniment would hide these shifts, while an excessively slow pace would lose the grace specified at the opening.
Play each voice separately and mark where the line changes hands. Combine them without pedal to measure sustained tones and breaths exactly. Then add discreet pedal, renewing it before harmonies mix. Keep an internal beat through rests so that the phrase remains continuous and intimacy comes from sound quality rather than excessive rubato.
