🇮🇹Ferruccio Busoni ： Prelude No.11 in H-Dur Op.37-11

No. 11 from Busoni’s 24 Preludes is a piano piece that condenses a singing melody and shifting harmonies into a concise form. The music unfolds around its principal melody, with the exchange between phrases and changes in sonority providing important points of interest. It is best approached as a continuous whole, while carefully bringing out the changing character of each passage. In performance, the melody should emerge clearly from the accompaniment, with the inner voices and chords kept from becoming too heavy. The pedal should support the resonance without clouding the texture; changing it carefully at the ends of phrases and with harmonic shifts helps create a transparent musical effect.
