Busoni Piano Concerto Op. 17
on: June 14, 2013, 03:50:41 AM
Would anyone know where I can order the piano score for Busoni's Piano Concerto in d minor, Op. 17?  Much appreciated!  Thanks.

I assume you mean the Concerto Op 39.  Op 17 is his Etude en forme de Variations.

That's the 2 piano reduction. Given the original is for piano, orchestra and chorus, you may like to also get a study score:

Both are published by Breitkopf & Hartel and are currently in print, so are no doubt available form other online retailers.

The score is also available on IMSLP, subject to copyright as applicab;e.

Appreciate your reply, but I'm really looking for his Piano Concerto in d minor, Op. 17; not Op. 37. It's not listed in IMSLP.

No, he/she's right, there is a Op. 17 concerto for piano and string quartet. The guy has four Op. 17's,
only one of which is his etude en forme de variations (BV 206)

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catalog_of_original_compositions_by_Ferruccio_Busoni

The concerto is BV 80. I don't have it though, just clearing up the misunderstanding.

edit: Breitkopf & Härtel sells it here
