Busoni and the Piano: The Works, the Writings, and the Recordings

Musicologists, pianists, composers and music-lovers in general will welcome the re-issue and second edition of Larry Sitsky’s Busoni and the Piano , which has been out of print for a number of years. The second edition, which brings various aspects of the book up-to-date, will thus once again be available. Since the book was written in the late 1970s, Busoni has re-emerged as an important figure in early 20th-century music, and moreover, one who seems to be exerting an ever-widening influence on current thought and pianism.
