Piano Concerto (Busoni)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Piano Concerto in C major, Op. 39 (BV 247), by Ferruccio Busoni, is one of the largest works ever written in this genre. Completed and premiered in 1904, it is about 70 minutes long and laid out in five movements played without a break; in the final movement a quiet men's chorus intones words from the verse-drama Aladdin by Adam Oehlenschläger.
