Who isn’t familiar with Johann Sebastian Bach’s Chaconne, the final movement in his Partita in d minor for Violin solo? Time and again composers have been inspired to make this exceptional piece accessible for other instruments. Perhaps the best-known arrangement is by Ferruccio Busoni.
Without distancing himself too greatly from Bach’s original, he endeavours to transpose the virtuosity of the string writing onto the piano. Thus Busoni wrote for the piano in a way that congenially makes the most of the capabilities of the modern piano. Our Urtext edition not only takes into account the traditional sources but also meticulously analyses a piano roll in great depth on which Busoni himself can be heard. The fingerings were provided by none other than Marc-André Hamelin.
誰不熟悉約翰·塞巴斯蒂安·巴赫的恰空舞曲?這首恰空舞曲是他為小提琴獨奏而作的d小調組曲的終曲。無數作曲家都曾受到啟發,將這首傑出的作品改編成其他樂器的版本。其中最著名的改編版本或許要數費魯喬·布索尼的演繹了。
他並沒有完全偏離巴哈的原作,而是試圖將弦樂部分的精湛技藝移植到鋼琴上。因此,布索尼的鋼琴改編巧妙地充分發揮了現代鋼琴的表現。我們的原始樂譜不僅參考了傳統版本,還對一卷鋼琴卷進行了深入細緻的分析,其中收錄了布索尼本人的演奏。指法則由馬克-安德烈·哈默林親自標註。
