Beginning of the composer’s lifetime.
About this piece
Moszkowski's Opus 77 is a great collection of 10 short pedagogical pieces of intermediate level. Each piece in this album focuses on a specific character and uses pianistic techniques to highlight that quality.
Tristesse is a melancholic piece that makes extensive use of the minor 2nd and chromatic movements to create that mood. This piece is a great study in smooth legato and evenness of sound.
Is this your next piece?
It might be a good next step if you're an intermediate pianist working on your technique.
