🇮🇹Ferruccio Busoni ： An die Jugend Epilogue Chorale Kind.254

Placed at the conclusion of An die Jugend, this closing piece evokes the character of a chorale. Listening closely to the writing, in which several voices are passed between the hands, brings out the calm flow created by the overlapping melody and harmony. Rather than placing virtuosity in the foreground, the performer should keep each vocal line clear, avoid bringing out the inner voices too strongly, and shape the harmonic changes with care. By maintaining an unhurried pace, refining the breathing of each phrase, and observing the space between rests, the piece’s concentrated focus and quiet sense of closure emerge within its well-contained structure. Use the pedal only to the extent that the sound remains clear, preserving the musical flow through the final chord.
