trasparenza

Italian composer

Definition

Transparency: a quality of texture in which individual voices remain clearly audible within a complex polyphonic context. Essential to Busoni's piano ideal and central to his Klavierübung exercises.

Interpretive Guidance

Cultivate independent voicing even in dense textures. Each melodic line should be traceable by ear. Avoid blurring with excessive pedal.
