Ferruccio Busoni corresponded with the publishing house Breitkopf & Hartel for over 40 years, and practically the entire correspondence more than 1,500 missives has survived. They depict the composer, arranger, editor and pianist as a witty writer, who reports with great eloquence on his many interests. His epistolary partner, in this case, is the publisher who printed nearly all of Busonis works. The dialogue is often so intense that up to 15 letters per month are exchanged. The hesitant beginning evolved into something like a friendship that gradually cooled and practically led to an estrangement at the end. While the correspondence allows us many insights into the genesis of Busonis works, it is also punctuated with remarks about the situation of contemporary music and publishing, as well as with comments on the political developments of the day.

Die einzigartige Personlichkeit des weltberuhmten Pianisten Ferruccio Busoni (1866 Empolie - 1924 Berlin), der auch als Komponist, Dirigent, Musikpadagoge und Schriftsteller zu den bedeutendsten Erscheinungen in der Zeit des Anbruchs der Neuen Musik gehort, hat zwei Generationen von Musikern und nicht nur von Musikern in Bann geschlagen. Wer ihn noch im Konzertsaal erlebt hat oder ihm gar personlich begegnet ist, weiss eine typische Busoni-Geschichte zu erzahlen, und niemand, der ihn einmal gesehen hat, vergisst diese imposante Erscheinung mit dem ausdrucksvollen, sensitiven Gesicht.Hans Heinz Stuckenschmidt, der Berliner Kritiker, dessen Buch uber Arnold Schonberg bereits in mehreren Sprachen vorliegt, hat es unternommen, Busonis unruhiges Leben anhand der paar gedruckten und zahlreicher ungedruckter Zeugnisse nachzuzeichnen und auf lebendige Weise zu schildern. Die einzelnen Kapitel beleuchten die verschienden Aspekte dieses faszinierenden Musikerschicksals. Ein ausfuhrliches Namenregister und vorzugliche Fotografien aus verschiedenen Lebensepochen erganzen die reprasentative Busoni-Biographie.

The idea for Totentanz, S. 126 (Dance of the Dead) was conceived by Franz Liszt (1811-1886) in 1938. Two versions were to follow, the first completed in 1853, and the second version finished in 1864. The flashy virtuosic piece for the solo piano uses the Gregorian plainchant melody Dies irae (Day of Judgement) in a set of variations. The first version, which is nicknamed De Profundis, is most commonly heard in the 1919 edition by famed Italian composer, pianist, and conductor Ferruccio Busoni (1866-1924). Instrumentation: 3(3rd dPicc).2.2.2: 2.2.3.1: Timp.Perc(2-3): Str (9-8-7-6-5 in set): Solo Piano in the sc.

Busoni's Bach Advanced SchoolIn October 1909, Breitkopf & Hartel succeeded in winning Ferruccio Busoni for the edition of Johann Sebastian Bach's piano works. Busoni had studied the music of Bach more intensively than almost any other artist of his time had. As a pianist, arranger, theorist and pedagogue, Busoni was instrumental in bringing Bach out of the 19th century and into the 20th century. That same year, Busoni and two collaborators, Bruno Mugellini and Egon Petri, began work on the instructive edition, which was to comprise 25 volumes. The first volumes were published in the spring of 1916, and in May 1923, the Bach Advanced School project was finally completed. This also marked the end of Busoni's thirty-year-long creative involvement with Bach's works, the impact of which still reaches far beyond the Bach-Busoni formula.All alterations and additions pursue the educational intent of affording the student insight into the mechanism of the composition. Moreover, they illustrate and supplement the views presented only in a sketchy manner in the introductions. In several cases, it takes the sum of the comments on the various pieces to constitute the all-encompassing opinion on one and the same question. (Ferruccio Busoni).

Duo or Trio? This early work by Busoni is a flute duet with an amazingly independent piano accompaniment.

The duo for 2 flutes and piano was written during Ferruccio Busoni's period of compositional instruction with Wilhelm Mayer in Graz, who commented below the music text: The invention is nice, the work superb - thus, praising the contrapuntal skills of the then fourteen-year-old. The carefully written-out flute parts suggest, however, that this piece was not intended as just a practice piece: It was also to be performed. In his youth Ferruccio Busoni was considered especially gifted at the piano. It is probably due to this talent that the piano part often departs from being merely a functional accompaniment, to becoming an equal musical partner with the flute duo.Duo or Trio? This early work by Busoni is a flute duet with an amazingly independent piano accompaniment.

Mit unserer Ausgabe des Concertos op. 17 ist erstmals dieses Jugendwerk Busonis zuganglich. Busoni schrieb das durchaus umfangreiche Werk mit 12 Jahren. Trotz der fruhen Entstehungszeit, die in einigen Schematismen ihre Spuren hinterlassen hat, zeigt sich schon hier die ausserordentliche Imaginationskraft des Komponisten, die sich in der individuellen Gestaltungsweise der musikalischen Form niederschlagt.Ungeklart ist die Frage, ob Busoni ein kammermusikalisches Werk intendierte oder eher an eine orchestrale Ausfuhrung dachte. Auch der Notentext lasst keine eindeutige Schlussfolgerung zu. Unsere Ausgabe ist daher sowohl als Klavierquintett (KM 2191) als auch als Orchestermaterial (PB/OB 5160) lieferbar.
