Περίληψη: | VOLUME 3: I. Ending to Dr. Faust II. Definitive version of the
Fantasia Contrappuntistica for two pianos III. Concerto for Orchestra:
Completion and orchestration of the Fantasia Contrappuntistica. Larry Sitsky,
professor emeritus at The Australian National University, is an internationally
known composer, pianist, scholar, and teacher. His books are fundamental
reference works on subjects such as Australian piano music, the 20th-century
avant-garde, the piano music of Anton Rubinstein, the early 20th-century Russian
avant-garde, and the classical reproducing piano roll. The Compleat Busoni is
the result of Sitsky's lifelong focus on the composer Ferruccio Busoni.
Over three volumes, Sitsky surveys Busoni’s vast output, provides an ending to
the unfinished opera Dr. Faust, and presents definitive realisations of the
Fantasia Contrappuntistica in two-piano and orchestral versions. New insights
into Busoni’s style and aesthetics are an integral aspect of this work.
