The Six Sonatinas for Piano
Album by Ferruccio Busoni & Paul Jacobs
The Six Sonatinas for Piano is a set of six solo piano pieces by Italian composer Ferruccio Busoni, composed in the late 1910s and early 1920s. Musically they combine late-Romantic virtuosity, contrapuntal clarity and early modernist harmonic exploration, using concise forms and varied textures to reflect Busoni's late-career interest in transcription, condensed structure and experiments with tonal colour.
First released: 1979
