🇮🇹Ferruccio Busoni ： Romanza and Scherzoso Concertino Book II

Busoni’s Romanza and Scherzoso Concertino Book II is a concertino-like work that highlights the contrast between the lyrical character of the Romanza and the nimble, light-footed nature of the Scherzoso. Its appeal lies in the expressive, singing quality of the melody and the clear rhythm of the more active passages, allowing the listener to sense the changes of scene. In performance, the melody should be brought carefully to the foreground in the Romanza while maintaining a clear balance with the accompaniment. In the Scherzoso, do not pursue speed alone; use a light touch and precise articulation to convey its vitality. The pedal should be carefully controlled to avoid blurred sonorities, allowing the contrasting characters to emerge naturally and revealing the work’s structure and charm.
