🇮🇹Ferruccio Busoni ： Ballet Scene No.4 in the Form of a Concert Waltz Kind.238 Op.33a

This character piece combines the dance-like quality of a ballet scene with the brilliance of music intended for the concert stage. As indicated by the subtitle “In the Form of a Concert Waltz,” No. 4 is shaped around the swaying rhythm of the waltz, unfolding with both elegance and forward momentum. The highlights include the singing quality of the melody, the light movement of the accompaniment, and the changing expressions at each juncture. In performance, keep the pulse flowing while bringing the melody clearly to the fore, taking care that even the brilliant passages do not sound overly hard. By shaping the dynamics naturally and balancing theatrical gesture with intimate expression, the appeal of the piece comes through more clearly.
