🇮🇹Ferruccio Busoni ： Polyphonic Study No.3 Kind.296

No. 3 from Busoni’s Five Pieces for the Study of Polyphonic Playing is a miniature designed to develop the ability to handle several voices at once. The performer must distinguish the movement of each voice while avoiding a fixed division between melody and accompaniment and maintaining the overall flow. In practice, it is helpful to first examine the direction of the sound and phrasing in each voice, then refine hand independence and the balance of dynamics. Avoiding excessive reliance on the pedal and focusing on clarity of articulation and dialogue between the voices brings out a multilayered sonority even within a limited span. One of its points of interest is to avoid rushing the tempo and to preserve distinct expression in each voice.
