Fantasia Contrappuntistica
Encyclopedia : F : FA : FAN : Fantasia Contrappuntistica
Fantasia Contrappuntistica is a solo piano piece composed by Ferruccio Busoni. Busoni created several versions of the work including several for solo piano, and one for two pianos. It has been arranged for organ and for orchestra since the composer's death.
The work is in large part a homage to Johann Sebastian Bach's Kunst der Fuge. Conversely, Sorabji's Opus Clavicembalisticum appears to be a homage to Fantasia Contrappuntistica.
Fantasia Contrappuntistica is written in twelve parts:
- Preludio corale
- Fuga I
- Fuga II
- Fuga III (on B-A-C-H)
- Intermezzo
- Variazione I
- Variazione II
- Variazione III
- Cadenza
- Fuga IV
- Corale
- Stretta
