The enigmatic Italian composer Ferruccio Busoni slipped somewhat between the cracks of music history. Although well-known for his brilliant piano transcriptions of masterpieces by other composers, his original work have eluded popularity in performance.
The publication of his controversial essay, Sketch of a new aesthetic of music marks a turning point in his musical style. The Enigma highlights some of these later works, including the heroic Fantasia Contrappuntistica.
