🇮🇹Ferruccio Busoni ： Prelude and Fugue (J.S.Bach) BWV 532

This large-scale work, comprising a prelude and fugue, is Busoni’s piano transcription of a Bach organ piece. The Prelude unfolds with powerful momentum and expansive sonorities, while the Fugue develops through the successive entries and overlapping statements of its subject, with the voices moving in close contrapuntal interplay. A key point of interest is the contrast between the driving force of the first half and the contrapuntal tension of the second. In performance, it is important not to rely solely on weight and richness, but to bring out the individual lines clearly. The pedal should support the resonance without creating excessive blur; attention to harmonic changes and the direction of each phrase helps convey the work’s grand sense of structure.
