About Ferruccio Busoni
Ferruccio Busoni, born in Empoli, Italy, in 1866, was a true polymath of the music world, excelling as a composer, pianist, conductor, editor, writer, and teacher. A child prodigy, Busoni's musical journey was shaped by his parents—his Italian father, a clarinetist, and his German mother, a pianist. His international career allowed him to collaborate with some of the most influential musicians and artists of his time. Busoni was not just a virtuoso pianist known for his brilliance and intellectual prowess but also a pioneer of modern music, influenced by giants like Liszt, Brahms, and Bach. His compositions and transcriptions reflect his deep understanding of both Italian and German musical traditions, making him a key figure in the transition from the Romantic to the modern era.
