Busoni, Ferruccio Dante Benvenuto
Busoni, Ferruccio Dante Benvenuto
Italian pianist, composer, and music critic. Much of his music was for the piano, but he also composed several operas including Doktor Faust, completed by Philipp Jarnach after Busoni's death. His work shows the influence of Liszt and his ballet score for Doktor Faust shows his debt to Bizet. Specimens of his style at its best are to be found in his later sonatinas, Sarabande und Cortège from Faust, and the monumental Fantasia contrappuntistica for piano. An apostle of Futurism, he encouraged the French composer Edgard Varèse.
