| Περίληψη: | VOLUME 1: Busoni and the piano: The works, the writings, and
the recordings. 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 Doktor 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.
