Subj: [kl] Busoni's Concertino for Clarinet and Small Orchestra
Date: Sat, 05 Mar 2011 10:54:00 -0500

Hello fellow clarinets!

My name is Stephanie and I am currently starting research on a dissertation,
hopefully discussing Ferruccio Busoni's Concertino for Clarinet and Small
Orchestra.

It is rumored that this piece is a compilation of themes from other
composers' works, and Busoni simply stole these themes and turned them into
a Romantic piece for clarinet!

Have any of you heard this rumor? If so, do you agree? And finally, do you
have any insight to where some of these themes come from if you have
heard/performed the piece before?

I want to make sure there are grounds to this rumor before I start seriously
digging and would love to have your input!

Thank you so much for your time!
Stephanie
