🇭🇺Franz Liszt ： Variations on a Theme by Bach S.180/R.24

Based on a theme derived from Bach, this work for solo piano traces a profound progression of sorrow and tension. The theme and a continuous series of variations unfold without interruption, while chromatic motion, weighty chords, and interwoven voices gradually intensify the music. In each variation, the movement of the inner parts and the flow of the bass support the expression, so it is important not to bring only the melody to the foreground, but to distinguish the role of each voice. In the great climax from the middle toward the end, broaden the sonority without losing the meter, and carefully portray the easing of tension that follows the forte passage. Use the pedal carefully to avoid muddy harmonies, and clarify the contrast between the concentrated tone of the quiet sections and the flow toward the conclusion.
