Chaconne in D minor from Bach's Partita No. 2

By Johann Sebastian Bach / arr. Ferruccio Busoni / ed. Paul Banks

Busoni's virtuosic piano transcription of the Chaconne from Bach's Partita No. II for solo violin (BWV 1004) is an early example of the young Italian composer's interest in the music of Johann Sebastian Bach. The work, dedicated to Eugen d'Albert, was first published in 1893 and premiered in the same year. Since then the Chaconne has secured a permanent place in the repertoire. Busoni releases an incredible range of sonority from the original violin work, approaching at times an orchestral texture. Authoratitive Urtext edition by Paul Banks.
