🇮🇹Ferruccio Busoni ： Dance Waltz Op.53

Busoni’s Dance Waltz, Op. 53, is a piano piece built around the triple meter and forward momentum of the waltz, bringing out both brilliance and nimble movement. Listening for the exchange of melodic lines and changes of register gives the impression of scenes shifting within the overall flow. It is important to maintain the rhythmic weight while keeping the accompaniment light and shaping the melody with a singing quality. In technically demanding passages, avoid forcing the motion and keep the wrists and arms flexible. By keeping dynamic contrasts measured and taking care not to cloud the texture with the pedal, the outline and sparkle of the dance come vividly to life.
