🇩🇪Clara Schumann ： Three Preludes and Fugues No.3 in d-moll Op.16-3

The third of a set of three pieces, each pairing a prelude with a fugue. In the prelude, the movement of each voice should be heard clearly as the musical flow and tension are carefully shaped. In the following fugue, the subject passes from voice to voice, and the overlapping lines create a dense sense of development. A key performance concern is to keep each voice distinct while unifying the whole work in one broad musical breath. In the prelude, the harmonic changes should not be rushed; in the fugue, the entries of the subject should remain clear without allowing the inner voices to disappear. The pedal should support the resonance without blurring the contrapuntal lines.
