Indian Fantasy

Indian Fantasy

The "Indian Fantasy (Indianische Fantasie)" is a fantasy for piano and orchestra by Ferruccio Busoni. Composed in 1913, it was first performed in Zürich in January, 1916, under the direction of Volkmar Andrae. The piece is based on several melodies and rhythms from various American Indian tribes; Busoni had received them from American ethnomusicologist Natalie Curtis Burlin. The fantasy describes the American prairie, and is in three movements:
*Fantasy
*Canzona
*Finale
