Busoni & Casella: Works for Piano
Ferruccio Busoni - composer
Alfredo Casella - composer
Sara Davis Buechner - piano
Release Date: May 22, 2026
Catalog #: NV6842
On WORKS FOR PIANO, Sara Davis Buechner pairs Ferruccio Busoni’s Seven Elegies (1907) and Alfredo Casella’s Sei Studi (1944). Busoni’s Elegies are extremely personal, and at times clearly autobiographical, positing that all notes can belong to one chromatic tonality through harmonic development. Casella’s Etudes offer a summing-up of his compositional philosophy, with each etude marrying tradition and novelty. WORKS FOR PIANO presents two 20th-century composers’ unique visions of a musical future. Throughout, Sara Davis Buechner approaches these works not as austere technical exercises, but as creations of vision, of depth, of complexity, and heartfelt expression.
