🇭🇺Franz Liszt ： Six Preludes and Fugues for Organ (after J.S. Bach) S.462/R.119 No.2 (BWV 544)

This is Liszt’s piano arrangement of a work for organ by J.S. Bach, consisting of two sections: a Prelude and a Fugue. In the Prelude, interwoven voices and harmonic richness shape a broad musical flow, while the Fugue is distinguished by the contrapuntal intimacy created through the exchange of its subject. On the piano, it is important to suggest the breadth of an organ-like sonority while keeping the movement of each voice clear. Rather than relying too heavily on the pedal, carefully coordinating note sustain and release and balancing the dynamic layers allows the Prelude’s momentum and the Fugue’s equilibrium to emerge.
