Περίληψη: | VOLUME 2: Busoni's other music: A complete survey. 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.
