About the Site

The Reproducing Piano Roll Foundation is pleased to present our tribute to one whom we feel is a genuinely gifted pianist and Composer. Ferruccio Busoni was hardly enigmatic regarding his talent; his iconoclastic personality shook the foundation of European piano performances.. What he represented was a combination of culture, phenominal talent and original musical concept.. These made him, again in our estimation, the archetypal pianist of the 20th century. This modest tribute exists to remind the world of his significance and of the legacy he leaves to the history of the performing arts.

Currently this tribute consists of a short biography; a more complete version is available in "PDF' or Portable Document Format. You will find the link for it on the biography page. The PDF requires the use of Acrobat Reader to view. If you don't have a viewer or are using an older version please check the Adobe website for the latest version which is free and easily installed. Additional information includes a biography, details of compositions, concerts, repertory; and a discography of the recordings of his compositions. Pictures of the composer will be added to the tribute as they become available.
