🇮🇹Ferruccio Busoni ： Prelude No.9 in E-Dur Op.37-9

Prelude No. 9 presents the flow of its melody and the subtle movement of its harmony with clarity and poise within a concise style. Short phrases follow one another naturally, while the relationship between the melodic voice and the supporting accompaniment carries the music forward. One of its points of interest is the need to keep the main melody from being obscured, organize the movement of the inner voices and accompaniment, and preserve the rise and fall of each phrase while shaping the piece as a unified whole. In performance, careful attention to note values and pedaling that keeps harmonic changes clear is essential. Rather than exaggerating the dynamics, emphasizing the balance between voices and their breathing gives the sound greater transparency and brings out its gentle sense of forward motion.
