🇩🇪Paul Hindemith ： Ludus Tonalis Fugue No.10 in Des-Dur

One of the fugues that make up Hindemith’s Ludus Tonalis, this piece develops a tightly woven contrapuntal texture as the subject and its answer pass from one voice to another. Much of its appeal lies in following the imitation and overlap between the voices while hearing the direction of the whole. In performance, it is important to organize the balance and register of each voice and to give the subject a clear profile whenever it appears. Avoiding excessive reliance on the pedal, the pianist should maintain clarity of articulation and a steady pulse while shaping the expression carefully so that the sonority does not become too hard.
