Busoni, Ferruccio. (1866-1924). Impressive Signed Photograph. A very fine original photograph of the important Italian composer/pianist, boldly signed and inscribed on the mount, 1912. Some silvering around the edges of the image, else fine.
Five years before this photograph was signed, Busoni published his "Sketch of a New Musical Aesthetic." There, he lamented the musical "lawgivers" and predicted a musical revolution which would explode the traditional tonal rules, saying that "music was born free; and to win freedom is its destiny."
