🇭🇺Ernst von Dohnányi ： Humoresken in Form einer Suite Introduction and Fugue Op.17-5

The fifth piece in Humoresques in Suite Form, this work is structured, as its title indicates, as an Introduction followed by a Fugue. The Introduction carefully establishes the musical atmosphere and flow, while the Fugue draws attention to the exchange of the subject and the overlapping voices. It is important to maintain a clear transition from the Introduction to the contrapuntal development while giving each voice its own character. In the Fugue, keeping the inner voices from being obscured and following each entrance of the subject by ear will clarify the overall structure. The wit suggested by the humoresque should be conveyed without exaggeration, allowing the changes between tension and release to unfold naturally.
