Faust Albrecht

Busoni never came closer to his dream of Italian music than with that night on May 11 1917 of double performance in Zurich, which he calls himself 'La Nuova Commedia dell' Arte' I ('Turandot') and II ('Arlecchino'). In the unusually short time from December 1916 to March 1917 Busoni reworked the already existing material to the Incidental Music of Gozzis 'Turandot' into an opera. This happen 4 years before Puccini started to work on the same contend. 'Arleccino', though in immediate neighbourhood to 'Dr. Faust' looking almost like a secondary work, is perhaps the composer's actual key work. The speaking hero of his 'theatralische Capriccio' represents a role model, which is at times more important to him than his aesthetic Faust, especially as the the World War increases.

Ignaz (or Ignacy) Friedman was one of the most important pianists from the early decades of the twentieth century, ranking in stature with such keyboard stalwarts as Josef Hofmann, Sergey Rachmaninov, Josef Lhevinne, and Leopold Godowsky. His contemporaries were among his greatest admirers: Horowitz, a friend but generally taciturn in offering praise to rivals, was said to have assessed Friedman's technique as stronger than his own. Friedman was also a composer with a fairly substantial output, mainly of piano works or of chamber music involving the piano. He also transcribed many compositions for his instrument and edited Chopin's complete piano works, as well as selected ones by Beethoven, Liszt, and others.
