🇮🇹Ferruccio Busoni ： Polyphonic Study No.4 Kind.296

No. 4 from Busoni’s “Five Pieces for the Study of Polyphonic Playing” is a study that develops the ability to treat several voices independently while shaping them into a unified musical whole. Rather than simply separating melody from accompaniment, listening to how the individual lines overlap reveals the music’s layered character. When learning the piece, follow the movement of each voice carefully and maintain the principal line while keeping the other parts discreet. Avoid relying too heavily on the pedal; control note lengths and resonance with the fingers, and listen closely to the balance between voices for a clear performance.
