🇮🇹Ferruccio Busoni ： Sonatina No.1 Kind.257

Within its compact scale, this sonatina reveals Busoni’s sense of structure and his interest in piano writing. Listening closely to the exchange of melodic lines and the changes in harmony allows the listener to hear how the brief ideas develop and shape the overall flow. In performance, it is important to clarify the direction of each phrase and carefully distinguish the roles of melody and accompaniment. Rather than making the dynamic contrasts overly large, bring out the contrast between the lighter motion and the more restrained passages naturally, allowing the work’s coherence and subtle charm to emerge.
