The family is thought originally to have come from Corsica. Though reasonably well-off in their day, the Busonis fell on hard times, and upon the father’s death, moved to Empoli. Additional misfortune followed when the second son of three, Giovanni Battista also died later of a long illness in 1860, his wife following shortly thereafter. From this group of three sons, it would be the eldest, Ferdinando who would produce the artist the world learned to know and cherish. In Empoli his siblings became prosperous makers of felt hats, but Ferdinando would have none of that. He hid himself in corners to read the classics and practice the clarinet. Nothing would alter his intention to be a musician of prominence; he was capricious, self-willed, hot-tempered and impatient. These qualities would, lifelong, result in a reputation as difficult, highly-strung, opinionated, quarrelsome and to some a jeffatore...the possessor of the “evil eye.” He was largely self-taught, attained a high degree of proficiency on his instrument, adopted a career as a travelling virtuoso.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. Tlie sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in “sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4.

  • Producing Evidence for the Beatification of a Composer: Sorabji’S Deijication of Busoni’
    Producing Evidence for the Beatification of a Composer: Sorabji’s DeiJication of Busoni’ BY MARC-ANDRÉ ROBERGE There has been in recent years an upsurge of interest in the music of a number of nineteenth and twentieth-century composer-pianists who have long been considered outsiders in European music history, such as Charles-Valentin Alkan (1813-88), Ferruccio Busoni (1866-1924), Leopold Godowsky (1870-1938) and Kaikhosru Shapurji Sorabji (1892-1988). Their status as outsiders resulted mainly from the length and complexity of several of their works and from the lack of clear boundaries between original composition and transcription, in which they had a marked interest. Their works, even though they still appear but rarely on concert programmes, are now performed with increasing frequency. First editions or reprints of their music are issued with some regularity, as are books and articles; furthermore, several enterprising pianists are now recording interesting works and masterpieces long kept in the shadow for lack of suitable performers. As I have shown elsewhere,* all these composers are part of an extensive “Busoni network”, i.e. a group of composers and performers who can be linked in one or more ways to Busoni and, to a lesser extent, to Sorabji: they had studied with Busoni or with one of his pupils; they had performed works by Busoni or Sorabji; they had written about either composer; they had transcribed or edited one or more of their works; finally, they incorporated quotations from their works into their own compositions or used them as models. To this core group of (mostly English- speaking) composers could be added numerous editors, musicologists and writers (also mostly English-speaking) as well as friends and disciples of the composers of the network.

  • FERRUCCIO BUSONI AS a COMPOSER by HUGO LEICHTENTRITT
    FERRUCCIO BUSONI AS A COMPOSER By HUGO LEICHTENTRITT T is a common experience in the history of arts that the world Downloaded from will fail to appreciate an artist, however famous he may be, I as soon as he shows an ambition to distinguish himself in a field of activity alien to the one in which he acquired his first fame. Thus it happened to Franz Liszt. His pianistic genius was admired without reserve, unanimously, all the world over, http://mq.oxfordjournals.org/ but in his capacity as a composer he had to combat most serious opposition throughout his Hie, and even now there is a considerable divergence of opinion on this topic, although the importance of Liszt the composer has become sufficiently manifest. Similarly, Ferruccio Busoni is esteemed as a pianist of the first order, but his remarkable achievements as a composer are hardly appreciated at their full value. It is the purpose of the present essay to analyze the rather complicated character of Busoni the composer, at Ryerson University on June 17, 2015 to characterize his art, to show its development and to appraise its importance. The artistic career of Busoni may be sketched briefly by way of introduction. Ferruccio Busoni was born on April the 1st, 1866, in Empoli, near Florence. His father was Italian, his mother partially of German descent; this racial mixture in their son is also clearly evident in his compositions, and one of their principal character- istics. He commenced as a child-prodigy, like most of the great musicians. Piano-playing and composition were equally familiar to him, and his skill in both was remarkable even in the years of boyhood.
