About "Schumann: Carnaval, Op. 9: No. 4, Valse noble" by Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli
Michelangeli’s 'Valse noble' is a study in aristocratic restraint. Schumann’s carnaval vignette becomes a mirror-ball waltz: each phrase spins with poised elegance, yet a shadow of melancholy darkens the ballroom. The pianist’s touch is crystalline, holding calm and unease in a single, suspended breath.
