🇩🇪Georg Friedrich Händel ： Prelude in a-moll HWV 575

Within its compact scale, this prelude leaves a strong impression through voice movement that seems to engage in dialogue with the changing harmony. Short units follow one another, carrying the music forward, while the direction toward cadences at points of repose offers an important listening point. In performance, rather than giving every note equal weight, it is essential to maintain the flow of the beat while naturally leaning toward the important notes. Clear balance between the hands and carefully shaped phrase beginnings and endings can reveal the tension and momentum contained in its simple texture.
