So much of what we think of today as standard Baroque performance practice -- from terraced dynamics, metricized ornaments, and clear articulation -- is the result of Ferruccio Busoni's editions, performances, and teaching.  In addition, his transcriptions of Bach's organ and violin works helped create the loving and reverent attitude toward Bach's music and bring his legacy to new generations of pianists and music lovers.  This talk explores Ferruccio Busoni's transcriptions (comparing them to those of Schumann, Raff and Brahms and  historical editions, as well as showcases Busoni's contributions to our understanding of Bach's polyphony, expressive devices, meter, articulation, and so much more.
