🇦🇹Franz Peter Schubert ： Fugue in d-moll D13

Schubert’s Fugue in D minor, D13, is built around a single subject, with several voices entering in succession to create a contrapuntal flow. Listening to the progression from the subject’s presentation to the exchanges and overlapping of the voices reveals both the independence of each melodic line and the work’s overall momentum. In performance, it is important to bring out the subject clearly while allowing the other voices to sing rather than making them mechanically uniform. Precise note values and rests, together with carefully balanced dynamics according to each voice’s role, help create a tense and coherent flow. The pedal should be used sparingly to keep the texture clear.
