Indianische Fantasie, Op. 44 (1913-14)

Description by Adrian Corleonis [-]
The Indian Fantasy looms as a sport in which the composer -- in reaction to the occult nature of the path opening before him -- casts off the mantle of the alchemist in sound and most subtle of the makers of modernism to embrace the model of Liszt's Hungarian Fantasy for piano and orchestra, that is, a mélange of Nativist exotica and scene painting whipped up in broad strokes with virtuosic flair. On tour in New York in 1910 he ran across Natalie Curtis, a wealthy and talented former pupil, who presented him with a copy of her just published Indians' Book, a groundbreaking collection of "Redskin" melodies that fired Busoni's ambition to employ them. In three extensive continuous movements, the Indian Fantasy was composed between April 1913 and February 1914. Inescapably, the pentatonic character of the melodies produces Indianist cliché chiming risibly -- but at moments with startling visionary eloquence -- with oddments of Busoni's Modernist style. Busoni took the piano for its premiere with the Berlin Philharmonic on March 12, 1914. Only in the orchestral Gesang vom Reigen der Geister (1915) would Busoni's modernism meld persuasively with "Redskin" materials.

This piece moves me in a way that no other piece does. It feels like i’m in a different world, sometime in the 18th century in a native american civilization. It takes a great mind to compose something like this.

I've been listening to this for over 30 years and it still moves me!

Maravilloso escuchar 🎶

[@i9avici7a5]

absolutely loved this interpretation. The tempi were much slower than what I've heard before. I got so used to one recording. But listening a few times I heard so many OTHER harmonies. My heart and ears were melting. I cried. So good. Thank you.
