About
The duo for 2 flutes and piano was written during Ferruccio Busoni’s period of compositional instruction with Wilhelm Mayer in Graz, who commented below the music text: “The invention is nice, the work superb” – thus, praising the contrapuntal skills of the then fourteen-year-old.
In his youth, Ferruccio Busoni was considered especially gifted at the piano. In many instances, the piano part goes beyond its traditional role of supporting the flute duo and instead emerges as an equal musical partner.
