Biography

An Italian/German pianist and composer of chamber pieces whose later works imply a rethinking of his distinct compositional style. An accomplished concert pianist and visionary musical theorist, Busoni wrote with great subtlety and invention and created a strange tonal world entirely his own. ~ Blue Gene Tyranny, All Music Guide
