This is such a beautiful and poignant piece of music,
isn't it? and I know which note exactly you're
talking about. That last line about "when twofold
silence was the song" with an octave leap on
pianissimo. (In my key, it's an E-flat.) I won't give
any technical advice on achieving that pp since I
think others already have and are better at it than I,
but I will suggest that you don't start off the phrase
too quietly. make sure you have space to dimuendo.
Just in case you haven't already thought of this... :)
I hope you have a nice time with this piece,
Jen
