Ferruccio Busoni as Architect of Sound presents the composer as an
innovator inspired not only by past musical traditions but also by
a contemporary interest in experimentalism. In the
twentieth-century, Busoni wrote pieces where sound radiates from
different directions, created montage formal structures, and freely
used all twelve pitches of the chromatic scale without avoiding
consonances. This book reveals how he also applied his
understanding of tangible architectural spaces, buildings, and
floor plans to his music, reconciling the spatial and temporal
divide in music through an interdisciplinary approach. His
innovation prompted and inspired new trends in pitch organization,
the spatialization of sound, and the expansion of formal
structures. Transcending physical boundaries of compositional
innovation, Busoni also engaged in a rich exchange of ideas with
contemporary architects and artists. Through a broad analysis of
Busoni's compositional activities, musicologist Erinn E. Knyt
brings Busoni's music into dialogue with more recent accounts of
modernism in music that move beyond elitist esotericism and notions
of rupture with the past. In addition, she facilitates a discourse
between Busoni and other twentieth-century artists and explores how
Busoni's spatialized architectural music left a lasting imprint on
future generations of musicians and early film pioneers.
