🇮🇹Ferruccio Busoni ： Prelude No.21 in B-Dur Op.37-21

No. 21 from Busoni’s 24 Preludes is a compact miniature that gives poised shape to lyrical phrasing and harmonic movement. As its clear phrases unfold, motion in the accompaniment and inner voices adds delicate shading to the music. A central point of interest is the way the roles of melody and accompaniment are interwoven, while the tension is gradually settled toward the close. In performance, the melody in the right hand should be allowed to resonate fully without making the left hand too heavy. Attentive phrasing and finely adjusted pedaling in response to the harmonic changes help bring out the piece’s transparency and calm.
