🇭🇺Franz Liszt ： Six Preludes and Fugues for Organ (after J.S. Bach) S.462/R.119 No.4 (BWV 546)

This is the fourth piece in Liszt’s set of six preludes and fugues, arranged for piano after Bach’s organ music. In the Prelude, weighty harmonic progressions unfold through the movement of several voices, while in the Fugue, the subject is passed from voice to voice to shape the musical structure. The performance must convey an organ-like grandeur on the piano while keeping each contrapuntal line clear. In the Prelude, capture the harmonic flow and broad breathing of the music; in the Fugue, distinguish each statement of the subject and maintain a balance that keeps the inner voices from being obscured. These choices bring the work’s tense architecture into relief.
