Musicology Annotation << Back The Klavier&#252;bung [Piano Exercise] by Ferruccio Busoni Maksim Melnikov The article deals with the formation of Ferruccio Busoni’s (1866–1924) pianistic ideas. His research of Johann Sebastian Bach’s polyphony and Franz Liszt’s piano heritage had led him to his own pianistic concept that determined his pianistic figure in the post-crisis period. The development of the concept was continuing for three decades. Busoni registered phases of the main pianistic idea in editions and transcriptions: from “Well-Tempered Clavier” [1924] to Lehrgebäude (Scientific System)[1900] and multivolume collections of Liszt’s editions [1911] and Bach’s editions [1920]. Busoni did the final figuration of the pianistic concept in the second edition of TheKlavierübung (Piano Exercise) [1924]. It combined the Busoni’s technical doctrine and his entire heritage in the complete system. Keywords: Ferruccio Busoni, pianistic concept, Scientific system (Lehrgebäude), Piano Exercise (Die Klavierübung). Contacts: E-mail: vvd19@list.ru Pp. 10-16.
