🇷🇺Sergei Sergeyevich Prokofiev ： Prelude and Fugue after Buxtehude

Bearing Buxtehude’s name while combining the prelude and fugue through Prokofiev’s distinctive, incisive sensibility, this arrangement unfolds with striking tension. In the prelude, active lines and a sense of urgency emerge from harmonies whose center does not settle in one place. The ensuing fugue is shaped by several voices moving as if in dialogue, with the clarity of their interwoven lines forming a central attraction. In performance, carefully distinguish the volume and direction of each voice, keep the texture clear without allowing the resonance to become blurred, and contrast the prelude’s freedom with the fugue’s forward drive.
