Busoni: Piano Concerto in D Minor, BV 80, Op. 17 (Version for Orchestra)
Composer: Ferruccio Busoni (1866-1924) Editor: Larry Sitsky Instrumentation: Piano, Orchestra Binding: Paperback ISMN: 9790004209011 Size: 9.1 x 12.0 inches Pages: 52 Urtext / Critical Edition PDF Preview Description With our edition of the Concerto, Op. 17, this early work by Busoni is accessible for the first time. Busoni wrote this quite extensive work when he was 12 years old. Despite the early period of composition, which has left its traces in some schematizations, the extraordinary imaginative power of the composer is already evident here, which is reflected in the individual shaping of the musical form. It is unclear whether Busoni intended a chamber music work or rather thought of an orchestral performance. Also the musical text does not allow a clear conclusion.
