🇮🇹Ferruccio Busoni ： Five Pieces Gigue Op.3-5

The Gigue, the fifth and concluding piece in Busoni’s Five Pieces, is a piano miniature shaped by the lively motion associated with the dance and a taut sense of rhythm. Listening carefully to the repetition of rhythmic patterns and the movement of the individual lines reveals a musical flow that is concise yet strongly propelled. In performance, it is important to preserve the elasticity of the beat and keep the articulation of separations and connections clear without making the sound too heavy. By bringing out the direction of each phrase and the gradations of dynamics without allowing the rapid movement to obscure them, the performer can balance brilliance with intellectual tension.
