🇮🇹Ferruccio Busoni ： Village Festival Op.9-6

Village Festival is a short piece marked by bright momentum suggestive of a festive gathering and by the rich sonority of Busoni’s piano writing. Vigorous rhythms and brilliant motion drive the music forward, while passages suggesting a change of scene call for careful shaping of overlapping sonorities and singing lines. In performance, it is important to maintain a clear sense of pulse, keep the smaller notes distinct and even, and avoid making the sound harsh in forte passages. The main melody should remain prominent, and the pedal should be cleared at structural points according to the amount of resonance. In difficult passages, preserve lightness and vitality rather than pursuing speed alone.
