🇮🇹Ferruccio Busoni ： Fantastic Tale Kind.100 Op.12

Busoni’s Fantastic Tale is a character piece that evokes the fantastical world suggested by its title through the piano’s colors and narrative voice. Rather than following a clearly defined story, its appeal lies in the changing impressions and shifting scenes it invites the listener to savor. Listen closely to the shaping of the melody, the balance with the accompaniment, and the differing tonal colors across the registers. Carefully distinguish the character of each passage; where the expression changes, keep the tempo steady and organize the dynamics and pedaling to preserve the sense of fantasy. Avoid placing technique in the foreground, and let the resonance and direction of each phrase guide the performance.
