Description:

Busoni (18661924) was known during his lifetime as a virtuoso pianist and also left behind numerous arrangements of Bachs works. Yuji Takahashi characterizes Busonis role as a composer as follows: …As a composer, Busoni was a visionary. He dreamed of the music of the futurefree from any established form or aesthetican irregular flow of ever-changing colors and shadows, yet underpinned by the beauty and inevitability of silence. Focusing on six sonatinas, this is the trajectory of a revived experiment as interpreted by a contemporary composer-pianist. [Comment provided by Fontek]
