Bach Busoni - Chorale Preludes For Piano

Alongside the Chaconne for violin, the ten Chorale Preludes for organ are Busoni?s best-known piano transcriptions of works by J. S. Bach. Unlike the Chaconne, which Busoni envisaged for concert performance, he transcribed the Chorale Preludes in ?chamber-music style?. A great deal of this organ/piano edition can also be played by advanced amateurs. We are publishing Busoni?s definitive version in the first modern Urtext edition with valuable fingering suggestions by Marc-André Hamelin. And what is more, in the appendix we are publishing an eleventh chorale prelude for the first time: Busoni?s transcription of ?Aus tiefer Not?. With regard to performing its six-part setting, the composer himself spoke of an ?extreme performance limit? ? but why not judge for yourself!
