Published by Thomas Oboe Lee (A0.1180570). Wikipedia entry on Ferruccio Busoni's Elegies (German: Elegien): The Elegies mark a significant change in Busoni's compositional approach.  The harmonic language of the Elegies is extended, with the pedal used audaciously to blend disparate tones: unrelated triads are overlapped and juxtaposed; chords are constructed from intervals other than thirds; unusual and highly chromatic scales and runs, often differing from the surrounding harmonies, are extensively employed and varied; melodies, and solitary sighs, moving by whole and half steps, magnify these disorienting effects.Busoni recognized the change: My entire personal vision I put down at last and for the first time in the Elegies, and the Elegies signify a milestone in my development.  Almost a transformation ...  Inspired by his work, I gave myself a challenge to write my own version of Elegien.  Like the Busoni, it is in seven movements for solo piano.1. Recueillement ... Sostenuto, quasi Moderato2. Barcarolo in modo napolitano ... Andante3. Choralvorspiel ... Adagio4. Intermezzo ... Allegretto  TRIO 5. Walzer ... Andante, più tranquillo6. Notturno ... Moderato … quasi rubato, Andante7. Berceuse ... Largo calmoThis work is dedicated to the memory of Nika Shakarami and Sarina Esmailzadeh.
