Acoustic arrangement in the style of Russian romance **Instruments:** * **Piano:** Leading role. Plays the main harmony in arpeggios or chords, creating an airy yet dense texture. * **Acoustic guitar:** Percussion-like beat using plucking the bass strings on the strong beat. Adds a rhythmic pulse. * **Double bass (pizzicato):** Plays the scale or the main notes of the chords, emphasizing the harmony without unnecessary noise. * **Vocal:** Clear, with a slight hoarseness, and as expressive as possible. In the chorus, there is a transition to *crescendo* (increased volume). **Rhythm and tempo:** * **Tempo:** Slow, around 65-70 *BPM*. * **Measure:** 4/4. * **Character:** Smooth, swaying (swinging) rhythm. Emphasis on the weak beat in the guitar riff to create a sense of "swaying on the waves" of longing. The dynamics increase from the verse to the chorus.
