		Busoni defended his preoccupation with refining even the smallest details of the piano's expressive capabilities by citing a conversation with a stained-glass artisan, who demonstrated that only a fragment was needed to judge the greatness of a window.
		Busoni took every opportunity to expound upon his philosophy, as it contradicted prevailing attitudes: "During the lifelong course of his pianistic studies the editor has always endeavored to simplify the mechanism of piano playing and to reduce it to what is absolutely indispensable in movement and expenditure of strength.
		Busoni insisted on the universality of great music, believing the printed note and its subsequent performance often represented an incomplete expression of material sound; it was the spiritual essence behind the concept that was of surpassing significance.

	Busoni, Ferruccio Dante Benvenuto - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about Busoni, Ferruccio Dante Benvenuto
		As a pianist Busoni was considered to have the most powerful individuality and greatest technical mastery since Liszt and Rubinstein.
		As a composer he is sometimes regarded as a formidable intellect whose works rarely live up to his ambition; he was admired alike by Mahler and Schoenberg (one premiered his Berceuse élégiaque (1909), and the other arranged it) but it may be his Italianate pieces which are the most readily accessible.

	Bio
		Ferruccio Dante Michelangelo Benvenuto (named by his father for various eminent Tuscan artists), was born in Empoli, Italy, April 1, 1866.
		Busoni's father Ferdinando, a handsome, bibulous, womanizing fellow whose ancestors probably came from Corsica, was a virtuoso (and peripatetic) clarinetist.
		Busoni had his doubts about the directions the latter musicians were taking but engaged in a lengthy series of letters with Schoenberg, discussing his theories and assessing his piano pieces.

		Ferruccio Dante Michelangelo Benvenuto Busoni wasn’t actually born with a hyphen preceding his name, but he has come down in musical history far more famously as the consummate arranger of Bach for the modern keyboard than for any of his own original compositions.
		Busoni’s treatments of the Baroque master transcend any sort of simple piano transcription, being instead newly composed pieces which exhibit extremely thoughtful architecture, grandness of scale, and deeply emotional content.
		Busoni also shares something of a life experience with Evgeny Kissin, once a touted prodigy but now, at the advanced age of 30, a fully mature artist of the highest caliber.

		Busoni’s mother was a good pianist, quite successful on the stage (eight days before her son’s birth she performed in Rome in the presence of Liszt)[i]; her son remembered in her playing a faultless technique, great facility, and a certain "salon" approach "in the spirit of Thalberg’s art."[ii]
		Henri’s wife— the pianist Kathy Petri—suggested to Busoni the happy idea to undertake piano transcriptions of the organ works of Bach; the inspirer is the object of the dedication of the first transcription—of the D Major Prelude and Fugue finished in 1888, and premiered by the transcriber for the Leipzig Bach Society.
		In Leipzig, Busoni also met with other gifted musicians of his generation, then still as young as he, at the start of their careers, and destined to achieve renown later; among them were Sinding, Delius, Novacek and Mahler.

		Ferruccio Dante Michelangelo Benvenuto Busoni was born in Empoli, near Florence.
		This aspect of Busoni's career is the most controversial, as he was heavily criticized for making piano arrangements of the organ pieces.
		It should be noted that the transcriptions are one of Busoni's great and long lasting contributions, and that these are the most commonly performed of Busoni works.

	TIME.com: A Bridge to the Future -- Feb. 18, 1966 -- Page 1
		On the 100th anniversary of his birth-now being celebrated through the efforts of the vigorous new Busoni Society-Italy's Ferruccio Dante Michelangelo Benvenuto Busoni is remembered by the music public as a mere arranger: the man who transcribed Bach's organ music for the pianoforte.
		In fact, says Pianist Artur Rubinstein, Busoni was "the greatest pianist of his time." Many musicians consider him a titanic technician and volcanically creative interpreter; all agree that his radical re-examination of the instrument and its literature struck a body blow at the romantic style and inspired the modern approach to the piano.
		Yet in the long view, Busoni was most significant where he most significantly failed: as a composer who longed to be great but was merely grand, as a pioneer who built a bridge to the future but could not pass over it himself.

		Busoni had a brief period of study in Graz before leaving to Leipzig in 1886.
		Constructing a viable work of romantic piano literature from the solo violin to the piano is not only bold, it takes a man like Ferruccio Busoni with his inexorable feeling for musical geometry (requiring an in depth knowledge of integrating chord structures together by parts), and his "distinctive" sonority to pull it off.
		His recorded output on gramophone record is much smaller and rarer, unfortunately the rest were destroyed when the Columbia factory was burnt down.
