🇫🇷Joseph Maurice Ravel ： Le tombeau de Couperin Fugue in e-moll

This is an orderly and delicate fugue in which several voices pass the subject from one to another. Each voice moves independently while contributing to an overall sense of lightness, flow, and tension. From the opening, it is important to present the outline of the subject clearly and, as the music unfolds, to bring out the entrances and overlaps of the voices with care. In performance, avoid assigning fixed roles to the right and left hands; instead, allow the subject to emerge naturally whenever it appears. A light, clearly articulated touch and detailed phrasing help balance classical poise with Ravel’s characteristic refinement, without making the music overly heavy.
