Arrangement for Piano-Alongside his Chaconne for Violin the ten Chorale Preludes for Organ are Busoni’s best-known Piano transcriptions of works by J. S. Bach. Whilst Busoni envisaged the Chaconnefor concert performance the Chorale Preludes are transcribed in a 'chamber-music style'. The Preludes in this book are of varying levels of difficulty some are suitable for intermediate level players andothers for the more advanced pianist. This Henle Urtext Edition is Busoni's definitive version with valuable fingering suggestions by Marc-André Hamelin. The appendix contains an eleventh chorale prelude Busoni’s transcription of “Aus tiefer Not” which is published here for the very first time. With regard to performing its six-part setting the composer himself spoke of an“extreme performance limit” – but why not judge for yourself

Busoni's Bach Advanced SchoolIn October 1909, Breitkopf & Hartel succeeded in winning Ferruccio Busoni for the edition of Johann Sebastian Bach's piano works. Busoni had studied the music of Bach more intensively than almost any other artist of his time had. As a pianist, arranger, theorist and pedagogue, Busoni was instrumental in bringing Bach out of the 19th century and into the 20th century. That same year, Busoni and two collaborators, Bruno Mugellini and Egon Petri, began work on the instructive edition, which was to comprise 25 volumes. The first volumes were published in the spring of 1916, and in May 1923, the Bach Advanced School project was finally completed. This also marked the end of Busoni's thirty-year-long creative involvement with Bach's works, the impact of which still reaches far beyond the Bach-Busoni formula.All alterations and additions pursue the educational intent of affording the student insight into the mechanism of the composition. Moreover, they illustrate and supplement the views presented only in a sketchy manner in the introductions. In several cases, it takes the sum of the comments on the various pieces to constitute the all-encompassing opinion on one and the same question. (Ferruccio Busoni).

Bach's pedagogical pieces, which even his sons practised, especially Wilhelm Friedemann and Carl Philipp Emanuel, are still used throughout the course of learning the piano today. These eighteen preludes have been grouped and published in one volume ever since the Ferruccio Busoni edition at the beginning of the 20th century, although current scholarship questions the authorship of some of the works.Through his work as teacher and editor, Lajos Hernádi has supplied the eighteen preludes with performance indications. This edition, already familiar to the Hungarian public, is now available to students of music in a new form.
