Ferruccio Busoni (1 April 1866 – 27 July 1924) (given names: Ferruccio Dante Michelangiolo Benvenuto) was an Italian composer, pianist, conductor, editor, writer, and teacher. His Cover artwork: TURANDOT SUITE score cover Breitkopf 1906 Leipzig & Hartel, detail by Emil Orlík, interna�onal career and reputa�on meant that he met and had close rela�ons with many of the

leading musicians, ar�sts and literary figures of his �me (among them, a very young Percy Busoni/ Rogers Grainger), and he was sought-a�er both as a keyboard instructor and a teacher of composi�on.

The son of professional musicians, Busoni was born in Empoli, just south of Florence. Ini�ally trained by his father, he later studied at the Vienna Conservatory and then with Wilhelm Mayer and Carl Reinecke. In the ensuing years, a�er brief periods teaching in Helsinki and Moscow, he devoted himself to composing, teaching, and touring as a virtuoso pianist in Europe and the Ferruccio Busoni, 1913 United States. His wri�ngs on music were influen�al; they covered not only aesthe�cs but considera�ons of microtones and other innova�ve topics. He was based in Berlin from 1894 but spent much of World War I in Switzerland.

Busoni was an outstanding (if some�mes controversial) pianist from an early age. He began composing in his early years in a late roman�c style, but a�er 1907, when he published his Sketch of a New Esthe�c of Music, he developed a more

individual style, o�en with elements of atonality. His visits to America led to interest in North American indigenous tribal melodies which were reflected in some of his works. His composi�ons include works for piano, including a monumental Piano Concerto, and transcrip�ons of the works of others, notably Johann Sebas�an Bach which appeared in the

Bach-Busoni Edi�on. His other composi�ons include chamber music, vocal and orchestral works, and also operas, one of which, Doktor Faust, was le� unfinished at the �me of his death. Busoni died in Berlin at the age of 58. MUSIC R S953CB New Standards Band Series
