🇮🇹Ferruccio Busoni ： Village Festival Op.9-5

Village Festival is a character piece that conveys festive bustle along with an unaffected warmth. In the more animated passages, the performer should maintain a clear sense of pulse while keeping the melody and inner voices from being obscured. In the singing, breathing moments, it is important not to rush the notes and to shape the direction of each phrase. By being attentive to changes of scene and connecting them naturally without making the dynamic contrasts excessive, the music’s liveliness and human warmth can come through. Small accents should not be forced; a flexible wrist will help produce a bright and spirited performance.
