🇮🇹Ferruccio Busoni ： Es ist ein Ros entsprungen Op.122-8

A piano arrangement by Busoni based on Brahms’s chorale prelude. Centered on a familiar melody, the overlapping chords and movement of the inner voices create a calm flow, while rich sonorities unfold within the concise writing. Listening closely to the melody’s appearances and the changing harmonies brings out the breathing of each phrase and the shifts in the music. In performance, the principal melody should emerge naturally from the accompaniment, while harmonic changes are presented carefully and without haste. The pedal should support the resonance without allowing the sound to become blurred; maintaining clear direction and a balanced relationship between the voices even in soft passages evokes an atmosphere of quiet prayer.
