🇭🇺Franz Liszt ： Fantasy and Fugue (after Bach) g-moll S.463/R.120

This work is Liszt’s piano arrangement based on a composition by Bach, structured in the form of a fantasy followed by a fugue. The fantasy calls for broad expression shaped by harmonic movement and a sense of free breathing, while in the fugue it is essential to clarify the subject’s entries and the movement of each voice. The piece as a whole is marked by weighty sonorities and dramatic tension, and one of its main attractions lies in how the rich layers of sound associated with the organ are recreated on the piano. Strong dynamic contrasts should be balanced with clear inner voices and careful pedaling that avoids blurring the texture.
