The Chaconne of Bach-Busoni-Siloti, or Three's Company
This week I took a detour from the Nick Drake transcription project, after a brief exchange with @Jim Symon on the art of transcription, which led me study the Bach Chaconne transcribed by Siloti. Pianists and audiences are well familiar with the Busoni transcription, which has attained a mythic status (and remains beyond my ability to play), but Alexander Siloti transcribed Busoni's transcription, providing pianists of more modest means access to the heart and soul of an otherwise inscrutable work. A "Bach-Busoni Lite", if you will.
