🇷🇺Dmitri Dmitriyevich Shostakovich ： 24 Preludes and Fugues No.6 in h-moll Op.87-6

This concise, taut work invites a contrasting appreciation of its Prelude and Fugue. In the Prelude, the movement of the notes and shifts in harmony are presented with restrained writing, while in the Fugue the subject is passed from voice to voice, shaping the musical flow. It is important to preserve the independence of each voice while unifying the whole with a single breath. In the Prelude, pay attention to a touch that keeps the sonority clear and to the placement of rests; in the Fugue, careful dynamic balance to bring out the subject and distinct touches for each voice help reveal its close dialogue and forward momentum.
