The tights of Ferruccio Busoni (1866–1924) with Finland are widely known. The italian pianist, composer, conductor and teacher taught in Sibelius Academy (1888–1890) and later became one of the most influential figures in European music scene. Perhaps lesser known is Busoni’s wide output for clarinet and piano. Having grown with a clarinetist father, Busoni knew well the instrument and wrote a remarkable amount of piecer for it throughout his carreer. In this concert we will hear his Suite BV 88, a part of his Frühe Charakterstücke, and two more mature pieces of his catalogue: Reverue pastorale and his Novelette, BV 116.

Another interesting side of Busoni’s figure was his role as a teacher and active encourager of avant-garde composers – he himself was a pioneer in theorizing about electronic music. Therefore, bearing in mind this progressive spirit, we have chosen to pair Busoni’s works with brand new and brilliant pieces that enrich largely the contemporary clarinet-piano repertoire: on the one side, the European premiere of Esconden su radiante imagen a piece written specifically for Aión Dúo and part of an interdisciplinary project with the young Spanish composer Claudia Cañamero (1995-), inspired in the words of the Ancient Greek poet Sappho, and the brilliant, folkish and crazily dynamic Sonata by one of the leading Finnish composer, Sebastian Fagerlund.
