Through rich archival research including correspondence, essays, and scores, Erinn E. Knyt presents an evocative account of Busoni's idiosyncratic pedagogy--focused on aesthetic ideals rather than methodologies or techniques--and how this teaching style and philosophy can be seen and heard in the Nordic-inspired musical works of Sibelius, the unusual soundscapes of Varèse, the polystylistic meldings of music and technology in Louis Gruenberg's radio operas and film scores, the electronic music of Otto Luening, and the experimentalism of Philip Jarnach. Equal parts critical biography and interpretive analysis, Knyt's work compels a reconsideration of Busoni's legacy and puts forth the notion of a Busoni School as one that shaped the trajectory of twentieth-century music.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>Erinn Knyt's <i>Ferruccio Busoni and His Legacy </i>is a most welcome addition to the literature on Busoni as a fine example of research based on primary sources. </p></p>-- "Bach"<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>Erinn E.
