🇮🇹Ferruccio Busoni ： An die Jugend Prelude and Fugue Fugue and Fuguetta Kind.254

Included in An die Jugend, this contrapuntal miniature is built from a fugue and a fuguetta. As the subject passes from one voice to another, it shapes the musical flow, while the tightly woven writing reveals a structural change from the fugue to the fuguetta. It is important to hear both the independence of each voice and the unity of the whole. In performance, present the subject clearly while balancing the voices so that the inner parts do not disappear. Rather than merely aligning the vertical chords, follow the individual lines and give them a natural sense of direction to bring out the appeal of the counterpoint.
