🇮🇹Ferruccio Busoni ： Prelude No.20 in c-moll Op.37-20

Prelude No. 20 condenses its musical flow into a concise prelude within a limited span of time. By carefully following the exchange of melodic lines and the changes in harmony, the listener can sense shifts between tension and release even within its short phrases. It is important to shape the music from the opening to the close as one broad breath, while keeping changes in dynamics and tempo between musical sections restrained and controlled. Along with allowing the right hand to sing, keep the left-hand accompaniment light; where inner voices emerge, clearly defining the layers of sound will bring the overlapping sonorities and moving lines to life. Use the pedal only enough to support the direction of the phrases while avoiding harmonic muddiness.
