[edit] Russolo citation
Does anyone know of the citation where Russolo is listed as one of Busoni's pupils? I'm currently researching both and it would help me out a lot, but I haven't come across it in any of my readings.
[edit] Recordings
Hi Helohe, Unfortunately listing the recordings of Busoni's music is not viable (Amazon has almost 300 of them!) so I changed this section to be about Busoni's recordings. I would suggest that if you want to mention specific recordings that you do so in a subarticle on the specific piece. Or if you want to mention musicians who championed Busoni's music in general...

[edit] Fantasia Contrappuntistica
I think Fantasia Contrappuntistica should get its own page. Including a description whats the difference in the 4(?) Versions. helohe 08:12, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Cramer and Busoni
Regarding Busoni's "edition" of Cramer: I think the etudes in the Klavierubung, even though they are called "nach Cramer", are close enough to Cramer's originals so that "edition" is the right word. In the first few he hardly changed anything. Tedneeman | Talk 22:25, 17 August 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Turandot Link
The link in the article goes to Puccini's Turandot - there is no article here on the Busoni opera of that name. --Philip Howard 23:58, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Detailed addresses of burial place, etc.
The descriptions of his burial place and last home seem to be a bit overboard. I think few English speakers have any idea what all that stuff, especially the numbers, means. I know I don't. I think that information should be made more concise, or cut out entirely. --Rschmertz 05:52, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] International Piano Contest
I've added the link to the Busoni Contest in Bozen / Bolzano. I would quote it on the article with a little citation. It was started in 1949 by Cesare Nordio enrolling judges such as Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli. Maybe we should think to link to the English page only. Alegreen 07:27, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] State of the article
I feel this article needs a good rewrite. There are sections that are poorly organized, and other sections that sound as if they have been ill-translated from (maybe) German. I am not a Busoni expert by any means but I will try my hand at doing some work when I can; feel free to beat me to it! --Wspencer11 (talk to me...) 18:02, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
