About this work
The 6 Ecossaises D.421 fit on 2 pages, yet each has a distinct profile. The opening dances rely on short upbeats and regular chords; later pieces broaden the slurs, move the melody and place greater emphasis on replies between the hands.
Their brevity makes every detail audible. Repeats establish the proportions, bass notes provide the point of support and small dynamic oppositions distinguish forms built from related principles. Playing all 6 without excessive pauses reveals their genuine variety.
Practise the openings and endings as a sequence before returning to the changes of register. The left hand needs short, flexible chords, while the right directs every group towards its cadence. Repeats can slightly vary dynamics without altering the pulse.
