Amazing work by one of musics' great geniuses. Busoni ranks with Mozart and Mendelssohn as an early blooming prodigy. Lovely music. Needs no condescending comments by amateur "experts".
The general level of music theoretical knowledge was in those days much higher than it is now. Proof that a 12 year old could do all of these modulations. Nowadays most "professional" musicians don t understand harmonic theory.
"Kids today!" No, Busoni was not of the general level. He was recognized as a child prodigy, recognized as unusual in his time and admitted to study at an advanced level at an age that was not typical for others at that time. Busoni is not the result of people merely knowing more about theory in that time.
Impresionante! Leí sobre este composición por Wikipedia pero jamas escuché una grabación hasta hoy. Gracias por subirlo Bartje! La vida y musica de Busoni es muy interesant y intelectual.
@@kissen1x638 the way he uses cadences, and Vorhalte (don't know the English word). A lot of the accompaniment from the strings as well, it's very motive driven and utilized variation, in an almost Mozart kind of way.

It's about temperament and a certain sensitivity and early understanding of music. He obviously already had great training, self-taught or otherwise, but it's mostly about superb musical sensibility and receptiveness, turned right back into his own creativity, (almost) unfiltered because it was so pure.
It's notable his lack of maturity in this concerto: The themes are exposed without nothing that could be taken a bridge from one to the other, the impetus for tell cuts the beautiful that his ideas want to express! There is no jealous feelings in my arguments. The fact that he was a pre adolescent in incursion of a magical world as the Major gender the classical music has is something of applaud. But that doesn't mean this work is for hype Busoni not for feel worthless as some kids here are expressing their frustrations because they don't compose j like Busoni. I would be more than happy of my composition style never gets closer to Busoni's own. Everyone needs to find the own light to shine!
Dear @@toothlesstoe : Don't tell me that finally, after huge efforts, you speak English here! I gave up when I noticed the further I could reach in my desire was just to write in English... I love when someone comes with dagger in hand to attack you and that someone ends up with that weapon inside her/his own guts by her/his own hand! You don't, toothless toe?!!!! ;)
Of course, with children it is difficult to assess what is the child's work and what their mentor/tutor/parent. They shall wish to "market" the child as a prodigy and keep their own role silent. There are numerous examples of this, and I suspect it may be the same here, seeing the circle of people around Busoni at the time.
wow thats very great for the age of twelve! Im now 15 and also compose a orchestra work - but in the age of 12, I never thought, I would compose any symphony in my life, Busonis work is so great!
Great to hear this! I'm a big fan of early Busoni, having come across and subsequently learned the wonderful Racconti fantastici op.12, written when the master was only 16. A shame that the solo piano is so forced to the fore in the balance. It would be nice to hear this re-mastered.
This is Busoni's Piano Concerto for Strings at age 12. I also had composed Piano Concerto for Brass Band at age 16. My music was Japanese melody based and influenced from the activiies as a member of my school band and also influended from popular music in 1970'. His Concero is more classical and more complete and orthodox. He was originally a genius and well educated.
Especially the latter movement is clearly influenced by Mendelssohn. The Scherzo is under Beethoven's one. Former two reminds somehow Hummel, Cramer and Kalkbrenner although lesser virtuosistic and more intimately personal. Wonderful second movement with dialogue between piano and strings carried out with mastery.
The work featured in this video is Busoni's concerto for piano and string quartet. It's indeed from 1878. He also wrote a large piano concerto in C Major (Op.39) in 1901 - 1904, as you state. But it's a different one.
Good, keep it up. When i was 10 (47 yrs ago), I wrote some music. My guitar teacher was jealous and he told me not to compose as all the good music was already done. A petty minded idiot. You follow your talent.
Sympathique, mais plutôt conventionnel et sans les sortilèges spontanés de Mozart. J'admire la science de Busoni, mais le génie qui captive l'auditeur manque la plupart du temps hélas, et c'est la cause de l'oubli où il macère... Dommage que tant de talent soit gâché parce qu'il manque l'étincelle... sans laquelle on s'ennuie !
Sono pienamente d'accordo con lei; purtroppo per quanto talentuoso, geniale pianista e didatta non si può dire altrettanto per la composizione che è ben oltre lo studio e la bravura tecnica, il compositore deve avere quella che lei ha già citato "scintilla." E Busoni non la possiede, pertanto annoia.
It's Mozart if Mozart been raised in the Romantic era... heavy pedal usage, lots of ascending chord motifs, and a melody that gets obscured by just going with whatever the motif feels like doing. I like it. But prefer a clear longer melodic themes so it's something you can hum. I forget the piece as soon as its done. It's not hum-able. And if you do, all it sounds like is going through harmonic chords. The adagio is nice intro. But again it doesn't elaborate with a clear them. Like an intro that ends the piece before it really got a chance to start. All music eras by all composers have made those pieces. They're probably really good for the composer to get ideas. But in short they're boring to listen to, or a let down. Considering this guy was 12 when he wrote this, it's amazing.

Now that's just sad and depressing.
I doubt any of this came from theory. Most good composers are guided by their ear first
@@Zimzamzoom95nope. It comes with theory. I’m a composer this def has theory all around it all compositions from this time had some aspect of theory.

check Jacob Collier mate
Busoni engages me with every piece he has written - always emotional and harmonic surprises. Age doesn't matter....
Grazie per aver messo in rete questo prezioso concerto .Grande Busoni!
When a 12 year old writes better music than the entire kpop industry
Lovely child. Beautiful.

I hear a lot of Viennese Classic influence.
Can you elaborate, I would like to know what it is that gives it that unique flavor

Marvelous!
He wrote a five movements piano concerto over one hour duration much later in his life.
Amazing, especially being only 12, composing a really nice concerto! Very much enjoyed the style, which sounds classical-romantic, my fave

Oh, and now that was your attempt at insulting me. Pathetic.
Imagine Busoni having written the other Op.39 concerto at this age ☠️
.
Could you upload Carl Stamitz Viola Concerto in D Major??
So...he published his 17th opus when he's 12?
What even the fuck.
In a number of ways, Busoni was fully formed by age 12.

This brings to my mind, today's Alma Deutscher compositions at her (and his) tender age.
This is Busoni's Piano Concerto for Strings at age 12. I also had composed Piano Concerto for Brass Band at age 16. My music was Japanese melody based and influenced from the activiies as a member of my school band and also influended from popular music in 1970'.

I was there when you premiered your concerto! It was really interesting and I always believed you are the new Mozart. What are you up to these days?
I don't know that Busoni has written 2 piano concertos.
Did Busoni also played this at age 12?
Yes he did.
My error - was
thinking of his large concerto
Mendelssohn influence
Especially the latter movement is clearly influenced by Mendelssohn. The Scherzo is under Beethoven's one. Former two reminds somehow Hummel, Cramer and Kalkbrenner although lesser virtuosistic and more intimately personal. Wonderful second movement with dialogue between piano and strings carried out with mastery.
But a lot more inspired than Mendelssohn.
And Mozart
idk about you but I think this one is better than that behemoth of a concerto he wrote later
It is a pity that the sheet music often shows something different than what is heard in the recording.
I feel bad at this point. My efforts of being a composer with 14 years old are usless. I can't compare myself with this genius.
Hey, I'm also a composer just one year older. Can I hear some of your compositions? I can show you mine too.
@@tarikeld11 They are for piano, but yeah, why not. Can I have your number or somewhere to share them with you?
@@alejandrom.4680 Sure, do you have Skype?

how can i get the score?
Lots of pretentious children in this comments section sharing their age explicitly to try to be recognized lol
"Gee, I'm only 10 years old, and I wrote a piano concerto that's twice as long. With strings, winds and percussion. And rock band! Etc. Etc."
lmao noobs im not even born yet and im writing my 10th symphony eat that beethoven
Amen brother
if the 12yo Busoni has done that from his grave
you must forgive the arrogance of art.
I only saw one or two? don't need to hate on kids, they just want attention which isn't necessarily unwarranted for
Face reveal soon?? :)
Heh
Why?

Sounds like a ripoff of Mozart.
Zero Mozart here.
@@bartjebartmans
Stylistically, I hear almost no difference between this and Mozart.
@@toothlesstoe he is much closer to Mendelssohn than Mozart. Those octaves in left and right hand actually point more to Saint Saens.

More Weber for me. The beginning of the 4th mvt is quite inspired by the Freischütz, isn’t it
