Sketch of a New Esthetic of Music is a book written by the Italian composer, pianist, and conductor Ferruccio Busoni in 1911. In this book, Busoni presents his ideas on the nature and purpose of music, and how it should be created and performed. He argues that music should be a reflection of the human soul and that it should strive to express the deepest emotions and thoughts of the composer and the performer. Busoni also proposes a new approach to musical composition, which he calls free composition. This approach involves breaking away from traditional forms and structures and allowing the composer to create music that is more personal and expressive. In addition to his ideas on composition, Busoni also discusses the role of the performer in bringing music to life. He emphasizes the importance of interpretation and improvisation, and encourages performers to be creative and spontaneous in their playing. Overall, Sketch of a New Esthetic of Music is a thought-provoking and influential work that has had a significant impact on the development of modern music. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history and theory of music, as well as for composers and performers looking to expand their artistic horizons.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
