1991 was not only a Mozart Year; on 1 April 1866, exactly 125 years ago, Ferruccio Busoni was born in Empoli, near Florence. What more fitting tribute to this composer than to present his creative response to Mozart, whom Busoni revered throughout his life? In 1991, a new edition of Busoni's cadenzas to nine of Mozart's most famous piano concertos was long overdue. These cadenzas were emphatically praised by no less a master than Vladimir Horowitz, who preferred them to all others at his concerts.
