🇮🇹Ferruccio Busoni ： Piano Sonata Kind.204 in f-moll Op.20a

A large-scale sonata marked by weighty harmony and strong forward momentum. Alongside powerful, dramatic ideas, singing melodies and more introspective passages emerge, with contrasts of character shaping the overall flow. Its appeal lies in the gradual intensification of tension and in the melodies that rise from richly sonorous chords. In performance, it is important to let the melody sing fully while keeping the movement of the bass clear and carefully balancing the voices. Rather than relying solely on volume, the pianist should use the pedal selectively to clarify the sonority, while combining rhythmic drive with naturally breathing phrasing.
