A frantic activity as a man and musician was the characteristic that accompanied him throughout his life, and his universal genius allowed him to reach absolute artistic peaks, even if often unrecognized. His virtuosity, impressive for speed and power but never showy or an end in itself, and his avant-garde and highly original musical imagination were legendary. From his youth, he was adored by the public, often leaving critics bewildered. His compositions, especially the later ones, are among the most significant and ingenious of his time: not only his piano works but also, and above all, those for orchestra and the operatic stage had a considerable influence on an entire generation of musicians. He genuinely endeavored to disseminate, through performances, revisions, and critical articles, the works of his contemporary composers (such as those of Arnold Schoenberg, who succeeded him in the composition chair at the Berlin Musikakademie). His literary background and subtle, acute mind allowed him to prepare librettos for his own operas and to maintain epistolary relationships with the greatest personalities of his time, in addition to publishing several fundamental writings. The most significant of these, the \"Sketch of a New Aesthetic of Music\" from 1907, contains ingenious insights into the dodecaphonic system, microtonality, new notation systems, and even hints of electronic music. He was also an inspirer of new instruments, such as the Viennese Bösendorfer Imperial model piano used for this recording, and originally built for him. The characteristic pieces of the Suite Campestre, composed at the age of twelve, clearly take Schumann's Album for the Young as a model. They reflect the late romantic idealization of rural life. In Preghiera della sera, certain mystical atmospheres emerge and a polyphonic writing of clear Bachian ancestry, elements so beloved by the mature Busoni. The Fantasia nach (after) Johann Sebastian Bach was composed in memory of his father Ferdinando. Although based on three organ compositions by Bach, about half of the piece consists of original material. The continuous alternation of minor and major sections well expresses both the emotional and tonal progression of the entire piece. The melancholy of the beginning turns into pacification at the end: the score significantly bears the inscription PAX EI! on the last page. The New World, visited several times during tours, held great fascination for Busoni. The songs and melodies of Native Americans left an indelible impression on him, leading him to compose a fantasy for piano and orchestra from which he drew the suite Indianisches Tagebuch (Indian Diary). The themes are almost literal transcriptions of Native American motifs, treated according to the schemes of Western music, yet with penta- and hexatonic inflections typical of those populations. The term Sonatina refers to the dimensions and form, not to their difficulty. The return to simple and clear compositional schemes (codified by Busoni in his idea of \"new classicism\") and the often intimate character of the Sonatinas are in clear contrast with previous compositions. The Sonatina seconda, almost an exception, represents his atonal experiment, following Schoenberg's example. New elements appear, such as the lack of bar indications for long stretches or a new way of understanding accidentals. The unstable, chaotic, brutal character reflects that of Umberto Boccioni's painting \"The City Rises,\" owned by Busoni and from which he was inspired. The Sonatina in diem nativitatis Christi, with its calm, serene simplicity, perfectly represents the model of \"new classicism.\" Christmas bells, Chorales, the mystical atmosphere, and also the pipers are inserted into a fine polyphonic texture, archaic and suggestive. The Vierte Ballett-Szene (Fourth Ballet Scene) of 1892 is almost a tribute to Johann Strauss and his Waltzes, in the sign of brilliant and salon virtuosity then in vogue. The last compositions are closely related to Busoni's unfinished opera, Doktor Faust, in which themes were often developed and matured in his piano works. The Drei Albumblätter (Three Album Leaves), thoughtful and melancholic, reflect the composer's state of mind after the horrors of the First World War. The first, algid and crystalline, displays refined harmonic solutions and a subtle, intimate rhythmic charge. The second, a fugato, is an extremely abstract and mysterious page, while the third returns to Bachian reminiscences with the chorale \"Christ lag in Todesbanden\" (Christ lay in death's bonds).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eGiuseppe Mariotti\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Fonè","offers":[{"title":"DSD 64","offer_id":52898084225371,"sku":"DSD9511","price":20.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"WAV 96kHz · 24bit","offer_id":52898084258139,"sku":"HD9511","price":20.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0575\/1016\/6580\/files\/SR9511sleeve.jpg?v=1777539544"},{"product_id":"transformation-and-transfigurations-busoni-mariotti","title":"TRANSFORMATION AND TRANSFIGURATIONS | Busoni, Mariotti","description":"\u003ch1 class=\"h1 namne_details\" itemprop=\"name\"\u003eTRANSFORMATION AND TRANSFIGURATIONS\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFerruccio Busoni\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-prices js-product-prices\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-price h5\" itemprop=\"offers\" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Offer\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable in: DSD, Hi-Res Audio\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"western\" lang=\"en-US\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrack list:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSonatina Brevis.

A frantic activity as a man and a musician characterized his entire life, and his universal genius allowed him to reach absolute artistic heights, even if often unrecognized. His virtuosity, impressive in speed and power but never ostentatious or an end in itself, and his avant-garde and highly original musical imagination were legendary. From a young age, he was adored by the public, often baffling critics. His compositions, especially the later ones, are among the most significant and brilliant of his time: not only his piano works but also, and above all, those for orchestra and the operatic stage had a considerable influence on an entire generation of musicians. He sincerely strove to disseminate the works of his contemporary composers (such as Arnold Schoenberg, who succeeded him in the composition chair at the Musikakademie in Berlin) through performances, revisions, and critical articles. His literary background and subtle, acute mind enabled him to prepare librettos for his own operas and maintain epistolary relationships with the leading figures of his time, in addition to publishing several fundamental writings. The most significant of these, the Sketch of a New Esthetic of Music from 1907, contains brilliant insights into the dodecaphonic system, microtonality, new notation systems, and even hints of electronic music. He was also an inspiration for new instruments, such as the Viennese Bösendorfer Imperial model piano used for this recording, and originally built for him. The years from 1895 to 1907 mark a period of reflection in Busoni's piano output. His considerable commitments as a concert pianist almost overshadowed his composing, yet they fostered a new language, expressed for the first time in the Elegien. With these, the most fruitful and stimulating artistic period began, which Busoni himself called his \"third style,\" and whose works are no longer marked by an opus number. The new expressive means of the Elegien stem from late-Romantic Brahmsian and Lisztian sonorities, refined, however, by new, brilliant insights of an Impressionistic and Expressionistic character. The sonic experiments, simple tonal chords juxtaposed with jarring dissonances, pure tonality alongside bitonality, constitute the major revelation of the Elegien. All'Italia, a tribute to his native country rich in popular song citations, shows the expressive use of dissonances, superimposed tonalities, and the juxtaposition of shifting, almost Debussyian pianistic colors (for this recording, the unpublished version of the finale prepared for Egon Petri in 1917 was used). The Intermezzo Turandots Frauengemach (Turandot's Harem) is one of Busoni's most famous pieces. The celebrated melody of \"Greensleeves,\" with its ambiguous tonal character, is well suited to the new musical conceptions. Nach der Wendung (After the Transformation), similarly, expresses its enigmatic nocturnal character through the tension released by the alternation of the very distant keys of C and F-sharp throughout the piece. The Berceuse offers a further glimpse into Busoni's aesthetic universe: the concept of eternity, of the so-called \"Omnipresence of Time.\" Close to the Elegien is Nuit de Noël, with its Impressionistic colors, imitations of bells, and Christmas carols. In 1910, Busoni's largest and most important piano composition, the Fantasia Contrappuntistica, was published, based on J. S. Bach's Art of Fugue. The Choral Vorspiel über ein Bachsches Fragment (Chorale Prelude on a Bach Fragment) from two years later represents a kind of smaller version of the Fantasia Contrappuntistica, based roughly on the same themes but of minimal dimensions. By the composer's own admission, the piece was conceived more for didactic purposes than for public performance. The term Sonatina refers to their size and form, not their difficulty. The return to simple and clear compositional schemes (codified by Busoni in his idea of \"new classicism\") and the often intimate character of the Sonatinas are in stark contrast to his earlier compositions. The Sonatina Brevis. In signo Johannis Sebastiani Magni is in fact a free arrangement of the Fantasy and Fugue in D minor BWV 905, almost a homage to the great Johann Sebastian on the margins of Busoni's gigantic work of revising Bach's clavier works for Breitkopf in those years. The most famous of the Sonatinas, the Sonatina super \"Carmen\" has nothing in common with Lisztian paraphrases on opera arias. Bizet's famous melodies are not debased or vulgarized, but rather treated as autonomous themes within the free sonata form. A subtle irony and sense of bitterness permeate the brilliant musical texture: the tragic and ironic ending is singular. The last compositions are closely related to Busoni's unfinished opera, Doktor Faust, in which themes were often developed and matured in his piano works. The Toccata is his last important work for piano. The piece is imbued with the themes and strong, dark hues of Doktor Faust; the tripartite structure consists of monolithic, well-defined sections, in which it is not difficult to recognize Faustian (Prelude) and Mephistophelean (Ciaccona) aspects juxtaposed with lyrical ones. The severity and nervous tension, combined with incredible technical difficulty, make the Toccata one of the absolute pinnacles of Ferruccio Busoni's output. The Frescobaldian motto inscribed next to the title is a warning to performers, whose truth was well known to Busoni: \"It is not without difficulty that one reaches the end.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eGiuseppe Mariotti\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Fonè","offers":[{"title":"DSD 64","offer_id":52898213593435,"sku":"DSD9512","price":20.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"WAV 96kHz · 24bit","offer_id":52898213626203,"sku":"HD9512","price":20.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0575\/1016\/6580\/files\/SR9512sleeve.jpg?v=1777540217"},{"product_id":"supreme-art-of-counterpoint-and-bold-innovation-busoni-mariotti","title":"SUPREME ART OF COUNTERPOINT AND BOLD INNOVATION | Busoni, Mariotti","description":"\u003ch1 itemprop=\"name\" class=\"h1 namne_details\"\u003eSUPREME ART OF COUNTERPOINT AND BOLD INNOVATION\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFerruccio Busoni\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-prices js-product-prices\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Offer\" itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"offers\" class=\"product-price h5\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable in: DSD, Hi-Res Audio\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp lang=\"en-US\" class=\"western\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrack list:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSupreme Art of Counterpoint and bold Innovation\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMacchiette Medioevali\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eOp. 33 Kind. 194 (1895)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1 Lady\u003cbr\u003e2 Knight\u003cbr\u003e3 Page\u003cbr\u003e4 Warrior\u003cbr\u003e5 Astrologer\u003cbr\u003e6 Troubadour\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e7\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFantasia contrappuntistica\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eKind. 256 (1910)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e8\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eZehn Variationen über ein Präludium von Chopin Op. 22\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e(2.

In \"The Astrologer,\" certain mystical atmospheres and a polyphonic writing of clear Bachian ancestry emerge, elements so beloved by the mature Busoni. In 1910, Busoni's largest and most important piano composition saw the light: the \"Fantasia contrappuntistica,\" which is based on J. S. Bach's \"Art of Fugue.\" Busoni's Variations on the Chorale \"Allein Gott in der Höh sei Ehr\" (\"All Glory to God in the Highest\") precede the three fugues of Contrapunctus XIX, unfinished by Bach and slightly modified by Busoni. This is completed with an extended fugue, followed by a mystical and visionary intermezzo, then three variations in which the main themes reappear. A cadenza with large arpeggios prepares the fourth fugue, in which all themes are simultaneously combined in a massive six-part polyphony. Over an ostinato bass, the opening chorale reappears transfigured, then a stretta leads to the finale, of extraordinary grandeur and power. Busoni's intention is not to create a transcription, a form for which, to his regret, he was more famous than as a composer, but rather to present the original work rethought and mediated by his great musical personality. Intended for the concert hall, however, are the \"Zehn Variationen über ein Präludium von Chopin\" (Ten Variations on a Chopin Prelude). The model is clearly Brahmsian. The second version, presented here, corrects certain youthful excesses and gains in expressive depth, without neglecting the concert performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cfooter class=\"page-footer\"\u003e\u003c\/footer\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eGiuseppe Mariotti\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Fonè","offers":[{"title":"DSD 64","offer_id":52898277720411,"sku":"DSD9513","price":20.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"WAV 96kHz · 24bit","offer_id":52898277753179,"sku":"HD9513","price":20.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0575\/1016\/6580\/files\/SR9513sleeve.jpg?v=1777540760"},{"product_id":"tra-mistero-e-occulto-busoni-mariotti","title":"BETWEEN MYSTICISM AND THE OCCULT | Busoni, Mariotti","description":"\u003ch1 class=\"h1 namne_details\" itemprop=\"name\"\u003eBETWEEN MYSTICAL AND OCCULT\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFerruccio Busoni\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-prices js-product-prices\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-price h5\" itemprop=\"offers\" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Offer\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable in: DSD, Hi-Res Audio\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"western\" lang=\"en-US\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrack list:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSonatina seconda\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eKind. 259 (1912)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSonatina in diem nativitatis Christi MCMXVII\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eKind. 274 (1917)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eToccata.

Romanticism had already signaled a return to ancient mystical ideas, and with the turn of the century, a period rife with decadent expressions and tragic premonitions, mysticism found enthusiastic proponents like M. Maeterlinck, P. Claudel, and, in the German-speaking world, R. M. Rilke. Sartre wrote: \"...the West was suffocating... Since it had no visible enemies, the bourgeoisie began to feed on the fear of its own shadow... there was talk of spiritualism and ectoplasms, the Beyond seemed so near...\". The arcane disciplines began to exert a considerable influence on Busoni during those years. He attended seances and became interested in occultism, spiritualism, and clairvoyance. He formulated theories about the faculty of seeing ghosts: man would possess the ability to see - for very brief instants - into the future or the past. \"...It would be nothing more than a momentary and uncertain glance cast - into the present or the past. Everything proceeds in the form of a circle, and so it must be for clairvoyance. It is a phenomenon analogous to what occurs in a radiotelegraphic station, which transmits to the same distance in all directions...\". In a similar way, he explained his convictions regarding extrasensory perceptions: we can therefore reasonably deduce that Busoni believed in the existence of entities and forces not rationally or empirically explicable, which, however, it would be possible to know and perhaps master, in his case also through musical experience. During his American tours, Busoni came into contact with the theosophical doctrines developed in the United States at the end of the century. These advocated a path of ethical and spiritual evolution which, through the progressive purification of motives and works, leads to the realization of an ideal of mystical perfection rich in all the attributes of wisdom, serenity, beauty, and power: one can easily trace the aesthetic foundations of the \"New Classicism\" (Junge Klassizität), in other words, the return to simple, clear, and beautiful compositional schemes that find full expression in the Sonatina in diem nativitatis Christi MCMXVII. In May 1912, Busoni purchased Umberto Boccioni's large futurist painting \"The City Rises\" in Berlin. The composition of the Sonatina seconda, his most avant-garde piece which contains a quantity of mystical and occult elements, dates back to May-July of the same year. As stated in his Berlin diary, \"at night, Boccioni in the music room, illuminated by the magical light penetrating from the square below, takes on a strange, magical appearance.\" It is not difficult to imagine the composer sitting in the dimly lit room, surrounded by Buddha statues, rare books, and \"The City Rises\" projecting its multicolored reflections. Just as the occult transcends spatial and temporal distinctions, through which the individual orientates himself in the real world, so Busoni often cancels bar lines, accidentals, and, especially, tonality: this realizes the manifestation in musical terms of what unfolds in the dark zones of his personality. This sensitivity to occultism and mysticism enormously enriched Busoni's language through the creation of new concepts and means of expression, and it was an essential ferment of his last creative phase, whose ultimate culmination is reached, in his piano production, by the Fantasia Contrappuntistica. Here are enclosed all the characterizing elements of Busoni's aesthetic thought. The ingenious union of modern musical language with the counterpoint of J. S. Bach's Art of Fugue generates a kind of mystical \"experience\" through which the inner movements of the soul gain predominance over rational thought, will, and consciousness. In a complex of daring harmonies and pure polyphony, the journey proceeds, elevating itself between moments of exaltation and mystery, visionary impulses or pensive episodes, deep meditations, and vague reflections. When music resonates, the human being is capable of acquiring a transcendental capacity that leads him to a new plane of consciousness, where the temporal world is submerged by the resonant universe. The musical work of art exists before and after it has finished resonating; it is simultaneously within and outside of time. It is this \"Omnipresence of Time,\" also present in the Berceuse, that synthesizes the ideal of mystical ecstasy idealized by Busoni: \"...we humans conceive of time as a line that starts from a point behind us and proceeds forward, while it must expand in all directions, like everything in the cosmic system...\". Only with the quietness of spirit, however, can we penetrate the deepest mysteries and aspire to a higher and fuller life, which is proper to human consciousness. \"Only he who looks forward has a joyful gaze,\" says Faust. The esoteric meaning of these principles was precisely expressed for the last time in the unfinished opera Dr. Faust, whose themes and strong colors impregnate the Toccata. The composer's high and lived spirituality made him well aware of embarking on a new path, full of consequences for 20th-century music. \"Still unexhausted are the symbols \/ that the omnipotent genius comprehends within himself; \/ the work will produce a school \/ that for decades will mature fruitfully. \/ May everyone draw their own teaching from it \/ so that Spirit is added to other Spirit: \/ this is the meaning of continuous ascent \/ the dance will then close its circle.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eGiuseppe Mariotti\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Fonè","offers":[{"title":"DSD 64","offer_id":52898383954267,"sku":"DSD9607","price":20.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"WAV 96kHz · 24bit","offer_id":52898383987035,"sku":"HD9607","price":20.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0575\/1016\/6580\/files\/SR9607sleeve.jpg?v=1777541323"}],"url":"https:\/\/referencemusicstore.myshopify.com\/en\/collections\/giuseppe-mariotti.oembed","provider":"Reference Music Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
