The Gozzi’s Turandot - in one form or another - occupied Busoni at various �mes in the years 1904-1917. He was very fond of fantas�cal, magical tales: his immediately preceding work was the Piano Concerto, Op. 39 BV247, which included music from an unfinished adapta�on of Adam Oehlenschläger's Aladdin. In 1904 Busoni began sketching incidental music for Gozzi's Chinese fable. He also arranged a concert suite, which was first performed in 1905 and published in 1906. A produc�on of Gozzi’s play with Busoni's music was mounted by Max Reinhardt in Berlin in 1911, and for the second and last �me in London in 1913.

This transcrip�on of the first movement of Busoni’s Turandot suite was created for George A. Treviño and his superb Lopez High School Band of Brownsville, Texas. The piece was premiered in February 2017 at the Texas Music Educators Associa�on conven�on on the occasion of the Lopez band’s 6A Honor Band performance.

Ferruccio Busoni (1 April 1866 – 27 July 1924) (given names: Ferruccio Dante Michelangiolo Benvenuto) was an Italian composer, pianist, conductor, editor, writer, and teacher. His interna�onal career and reputa�on meant that he met and had close rela�ons with many of the leading musicians, ar�sts and literary figures of his �me (among them, a very young Percy Grainger), and he was sought-a�er both as a keyboard instructor and a teacher of composi�on.

The son of professional musicians, Busoni was born in Empoli, just south of Florence. Ini�ally trained by his father, he later studied at the Vienna Conservatory and then with Wilhelm Mayer and Carl Reinecke. In the ensuing years, a�er brief periods teaching in Helsinki and Moscow, he devoted himself to composing, teaching, and touring as a virtuoso pianist in Europe and the United States. His wri�ngs on music were influen�al; they covered not only aesthe�cs but considera�ons of microtones and other innova�ve topics. He was based in Berlin from 1894 but spent much of World War I in Switzerland.

Busoni was an outstanding (if some�mes controversial) pianist from an early age. He began composing in his early years in a late roman�c style, but a�er 1907, when he published his Sketch of a New Esthe�c of Music, he developed a more individual style, o�en with elements of atonality. His visits to America led to interest in North American indigenous tribal melodies which were reflected in some of his works. His composi�ons include works for piano, including a monumental Piano Concerto, and transcrip�ons of the works of others, notably Johann Sebas�an Bach which appeared in the Bach-Busoni Edi�on. His other composi�ons include chamber music, vocal and orchestral works, and also operas, one of which, Doktor Faust, was le� unfinished at the �me of his death. Busoni died in Berlin at the age of 58.

ABOUT THE COMPOSER

Ferruccio Busoni (1 Apr il 1866 – 27 July 1924) (given names: Ferruccio Dante Michelangiolo Benvenuto)

was an Italian composer, pianist, conductor, editor, writer, and teacher. His international career and reputation meant

that he met and had close relations with many of the leading musicians, artists and literary figures of his time (among

them, a very young Percy Grainger), and he was sought-after both as a keyboard instructor and a teacher of

composition.

Busoni was born in Empoli, just south of Florence; he was the son of professional musicians. Initially trained

by his father, he later studied at the Vienna Conservatory and then with Wilhelm Mayer and Carl Reinecke. In the

ensuing years, after brief periods teaching in Helsinki and Moscow, he devoted himself to composing, teaching, and

touring as a virtuoso pianist in Europe and the United States. His writings on music were influential; they covered not

only aesthetics but considerations of microtones and other innovative topics. He was based in Berlin from 1894 but

spent much of World War I in Switzerland.

Busoni was an outstanding (if sometimes controversial) pianist from an early age. He began composing in his

early years in a late romantic style, but after 1907, when he published his Sketch of a New Esthetic of Music, he

developed a more individual style, often with elements of atonality. His visits to America led to interest in North

American indigenous tribal melodies which were reflected in some of his works. His compositions include works for

piano, including a monumental Piano Concerto, and transcriptions of the works of others, notably Johann Sebastian

Bach which appeared in the Bach-Busoni Edition. His other compositions include chamber music, vocal and

orchestral works, and also operas, one of which, Doktor Faust, was left unfinished at the time of his death. Busoni

died in Berlin at the age of 58.

PROGRAM NOTES

The Gozzi’s Turandot - in one form or another - occupied Busoni at various times in the years 1904-1917. He

was very fond of fantastical and magical tales: his immediately preceding work was the Piano Concerto, Op. 39

BV247, which included music from an unfinished adaptation of Adam Oehlenschläger's Aladdin. In 1904 Busoni

began sketching incidental music for Gozzi's Chinese fable. He also arranged a concert suite, which was first

performed in 1905 and published in 1906. A production of Gozzi’s play with Busoni's music was mounted by Max

Reinhardt in Berlin in 1911, and for the second and last time in London in 1913.

ABOUT THE TRANSCRIBER

R. Mark Rogers has degrees from Texas Tech University and the University of Texas. As Director of

Publications for Southern Music Company from 1993 through 2012 and Managing Editor with the firm from 2015, he

authored editions of the music of Percy Grainger and John Philip Sousa that have entered band repertory worldwide.

He is also widely published as an arranger and transcriber, with performances by all five of the Washington, DC

service bands. Dr. Rogers is the conductor of the Heart of Texas Concert Band and serves on the adjunct faculty of

San Antonio College, Texas Lutheran University and Trinity University, and prior to coming to San Antonio was on

the faculty of the University of South Alabama and a staff member with the University of Texas Longhorn Band. A

bassoonist, he performs with the orchestras of Corpus Christi, Victoria, Laredo, San Antonio and Austin, as well as

the Mid-Texas Symphony. He is active in church music and occasionally appears in music theater, including

numerous roles in the operettas of Gilbert and Sullivan. Sudie, his wife of more than forty years, his children, their

spouses and his grandchildren are the joy of his later years.

This transcription of the first movement of Busoni’s Turandot suite was created for George A. Treviño and his

superb Lopez High School Band of Brownsville, Texas. The piece was premiered in February 2017 at the Texas

Music Educators Association convention on the occasion of the Lopez band’s 6A Honor Band performance.
