🇮🇹Ferruccio Busoni ： Prelude No.22 in g-moll Op.37-22

This prelude condenses the shaping of a singing melody and the changing harmonic color into a brief span. Rather than driving the music forward with overt drama, a clear musical flow emerges through careful attention to the exchange between voices and the direction of each phrase. Listen for the way the opening material changes character as the piece unfolds. It is important not to bring the right-hand melody too far forward, but to maintain a balanced sonority that includes the movement of the left hand and the inner voices. A measured tempo and well-judged breathing around rests and harmonic changes allow the tension and resonance within the concise writing to come alive. In softer passages, retain a firm core to the sound and shape the dynamic contrasts gradually.
