Three Perspectives of the art of Ferruccio Busoni as Exemplified by the Toccata, Carmen Fantasy, and Transcription of Liszt's Mephisto Waltz:a Lecture Recital, Together with Three Other Recitals

The lecture recital, given April 13, 1981, began with biographical background for Busoni's compositional development leading to his mature style, as found in the Toccata, the Carmen Fantasy, and the Mephisto Waltz. The three works--an original composition, an operatic paraphrase, and a transcription from an orchestral score--were then detailed with emphasis placed primarily on Busoni's aesthetic ideals in relation to the three works.
