Ferdinand Beyer - Fleurs mélodiques de la Russie, Op. 102, No. 3 - Chant National

Measures 1-11, marked Andantino in 3/8 after a short pickup, place an accented dotted upper melody in octaves above low bass notes and short chord replies. Rising figures alternate with descending phrases before a stronger ornamental run reaches a high note with a fermata.

Measures 12-36 introduce a quieter expressive upper melody above alternating bass notes and chords. Short descending figures and repeated notes lead to broad rising arpeggios. The arpeggios recur in higher registers, with chromatic replies and growing accents, before the melody settles into quieter paired notes.

Measures 37-49 present the melody in upper chords above continuous lower runs in octaves. The upper phrases alternate dotted rhythms with short descending replies, while the lower figures move through changing harmonies.

Measures 50-69 alternate fast repeated upper notes with descending arpeggios above short bass and chord figures. The patterns rise through different registers and grow stronger, then lead to a quieter octave reply.

Measures 70-85 place upper octaves and short slurred replies above continuous lower broken chords. Accented high notes and descending figures alternate with rising phrases. A strong arpeggio exchange between the hands closes the section.

Measures 86-109, marked Brillante, alternate accented upper chords with broad rising and falling runs. The lower part supports them with dotted bass and chord figures. Chromatic runs widen the register before stronger paired notes lead into the closing passage.

Measures 110-120 continue rising upper arpeggios and short descending octave replies above bass notes and chords. The octave replies expand into both hands. Rising figures, accented chord exchanges, and a final sustained harmony close the piece.
