Rebikov’s The Mother by the Cradle is an expressive miniature whose gently rising and falling melody is colored by chromatic inner voices and small swells of sound.
The opening song moves above sustained and slowly shifting harmonies. A quicker middle section replaces this with interlocking figures in both hands, becoming more insistent and building to a strong peak. The opening tempo and melody return, then climb higher before a long descending line carries the music into a subdued, lingering close.
An interesting detail is the final melodic descent: it crosses a broad span of the keyboard while the accompaniment becomes sparse, leaving the falling line especially exposed.
