🇵🇱Karol Maciej Szymanowski ： 12 Etudes Op.33-10

Within its brief span, this étude condenses tense motion and richly colored sonorities. It unfolds through a succession of distinct musical units, while driving rhythms and shifting harmonies propel the music forward. A particular point of interest is the detailed movement of the individual voices within its full-textured writing. Performers should shape the changing dynamics and textures carefully while maintaining a sense of the larger arc. Rather than pursuing speed alone, listen closely to the inner voices and adjust the depth of touch and pedal use with care; this brings out the contrast between tension and release.
