🇮🇹Ferruccio Busoni ： Fantasia and Fugue in a-moll

This work, arranged by Busoni for piano from an original by J. S. Bach, consists of a Fantasia and a Fugue. The Fantasia unfolds with a sense of freedom, shaped by harmonic movement and dialogue between the voices, while the following Fugue builds its texture as the subject passes from one voice to another. It is important to convey the contrasting character of the two sections while keeping the inner voices clear. In the Fantasia, attention to long-breathed phrases and harmonic direction is essential; in the Fugue, the subject entries should be carefully brought out while preserving the independence of each voice and the overall flow. Pedaling should enrich the resonance without blurring the contrapuntal lines.
