One of the greatest of the pianists after the time of Liszt,
Ferruccio Busoni was a turn-of-the-century composer whose music has
recently begun to be taken very seriously in academic circles and
among contemporary performers. This work is the first volume to
offer a comprehensive, annotated bibliography covering a wide range
of published and unpublished materials, including Busoni's
librettos and his perceptive essays on the future of music. It also
provides a brief biography and detailed listings of Busoni's
compositions, together with an extensive discography. The list of
works presents information on original works, cadenzas,
transcriptions, editions, and performances. The discography lists
transcriptions and arrangements in addition to recordings of
original works. Piano rolls and recordings by Busoni are included.
Among the subject categories in the bibliography are Busoni's
writings; a guide to the contents of the editions of his writings;
his correspondence; studies and commentaries on Busoni's
composition, performances, and writings; and personal reminiscences
by those who knew him. Up-to-date information about new editions
and reprints of Busoni's works is given. An appropriate addition to
library music collections, this work is a valuable resource for
both musicologists and performers.
