🇮🇹Ferruccio Busoni ： Prelude No.17 in As-Dur Op.37-17

Among Busoni’s 24 Preludes, this piece invites the listener to focus on the shaping of its melody and the movement of its harmony. While the roles of the main line and accompaniment are relatively clearly defined, the music unfolds naturally through the continuity of its phrases. A key point of interest is preserving the overall flow without making the contrasts between sections too pronounced. In performance, the melody should emerge with a soft, singing tone, while the accompaniment remains even and the pedal is used carefully to avoid obscuring the sonority. Attending closely to subtle dynamic changes brings out the expressive character within its poised design.
