Ferruccio Busoni Préludes de chorals (Johann Sebastian Bach) Editeur: Christian Schaper, Ullrich Scheideler Doigtés: Marc-André Hamelin Les dix Préludes de chorals sont, avec la Chaconne pour violon seul, les transcriptions pour piano d''uvres de J. S. Bach les plus connues de la main de Busoni. Contrairement à la Chaconne que Busoni destina au concert, il transcrivit les Préludes de chorals en «style de chambre». Une grande partie de ce cosmos organo-pianistique convient aussi aux pianistes amateurs avancés. Nous publions pour la première fois la version de dernière main de Busoni en édition Urtext moderne, à laquelle s'ajoutent les précieux doigtés de Marc-André Hamelin. L'annexe contient en plus un onzième Prélude de choral, jamais publié auparavant: la tentative de Busoni de transcrire «Aus tiefer Not». Le compositeur lui-même déclara que l'exécution de cette polyphonie à six voix «exige le maximum de l'interprète» ' mais jugez vous-même!

Par BUSONI FERRUCCIO. Busoni was just sixteen years old when he wrote the extraordinary Serenata, and the quality of the music is exceptional. The work draws inspiration from the serenade as love song, and the interplay between the warm, lyrical cello line countered by its bright and lively piano partner is highly effective. In preparing this new addition, cellist Lowrii Blake has consulted the original manuscript of this undeservedly neglected work. / Niveau : Elémentaire / Répertoire / Violoncelle et Piano

Chaconne, extraite de la Partita n° 2 en ré mineur (Johann Sebastian Bach) Editeur: Norbert Müllemann Doigtés: Marc-André Hamelin Commentaire: Francis Bowdery Qui ne connaît pas la Chaconne de Jean-Sébastien Bach, le morceau qui clôt sa Partita en ré mineur pour violon solo? Les compositeurs tentèrent sans cesse de s?approprier pour d?autres instruments ce morceau exceptionnel. L?arrangement le plus connu est certainement celui de Ferruccio Busoni. Sans trop s?éloigner de l?original de Bach, Busoni adapta aux possibilités de l?instrument à clavier la virtuosité du violon, parvenant ainsi à créer un morceau pour piano qui tire profit, de manière tout aussi géniale, des ressources offertes par le piano moderne. En plus des sources traditionnelles, nous avons, pour notre édition Urtext, examiné pour la première fois de manière si approfondie un rouleau pour piano, sur lequel on entend Busoni lui-même. Les doigtés sont de la plume de nul autre que Marc-André Hamelin. Pages: 43 (VIII, 35), Dimension 23,5 x 31,0 cm N° d'article HN 557 · ISMN M-2018-0557-3

From the Suite To Gozzi's Fairy Tale Drama-The Gozzi's Turandot - in one form or another - occupied Busoni at various times in the years 1904-1917. He was very fond of fantastical and magical tales: his immediately preceding work was the Piano Concerto Op. 39 BV247 which included music from an unfinished adaptatioon of Adam Oehlenschläger's Aladdin. In 1904 Busoni began sketching incidental music for Gozzi's Chinese fable. He also arranged a concert suite which was first performed in 1905 and published in 1906. A production of Gozzi's play with Busoni's music was mounted by Max Reinhardt in Berlin in 1911 and for the second and last time in London in 1913. This transcription of the first movement of Busoni's Turandotsuite was created for George A. Treviño and his superb Lopez High School Band of Brownsville Texas. The piece was premiered in February 2017 at the Texas Music Educators Association convention on the occasion of the Lopez band's 6A Honor Band performance.

Including the Transcendental Etudes, Ed. Busoni. Par LISZT FRANZ. Liszt's reputation as perhaps the greatest pianist of all time is powerfully supported by his dazzling body of work for solo piano. The undiminished popularity of his etudes with pianists and audiences alike have made them among the most performed and recorded works for solo piano in the Romantic reportoire. The first volume, Series 1, include many of Liszt's most inspired piano works and are edited by the great pianist, composer and musical scholar Ferruccio Busoni for the Franz Liszt Society and published by Breitkopf and Hartel in Leipzig in 1910-11. Each set of Etudes is a highly successful work in its own terms and are all fiendishly difficult. The separate ' Mazeppa' is yet another working of one of the etudes from these sets. The individual etudes range dramatically in style from the delicate refinement of 'Feux Follets' to the startling bravura of 'Wilde Jagd' (both from Transcendental Etudes).

Arrangement For Piano. Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN / BUSONI FERRUCCIO. Aside from the Violin Chaconne (HN 557) and the ten Chorale Preludes for Organ (HN 1293), the Prelude and Fugue in D major ranks among the best-known Piano transcriptions Busoni fashioned from J. S. Bach’s works. Considerable evidence suggests that he viewed these three pieces as paradigmatic examples of his transcription technique. Busoni ’s explicit labelling of the Prelude and Fugue “for concert performance” in the title already serves as an indication of the heightened virtuosic requirements. And, indeed, here Busoni demands that the pianist have perfectly mastered the keyboard, always with the aim of delegating to the Piano, effectively but still in the spirit of Bach, the mighty sound-world of the Organ work. This Urtext edition is heartily recommended to all those pianists who have ever wanted, finally, to pull out all the stops on the Piano. / Schaper, Christian / Scheideler, Ullrich / Répertoire / Piano
