Ivor Dent hfe of Busori hondon 1936 Among the Weimar pupils of 1901 was Maud Allan . Busoni soon discovered that her real talent was for the dance ; it was he who first suggested to her that she should become a dancer . One day in Berlin they cleared a space in his music - room ; Gerda dressed her up in a costume improvised on the spur of the moment and she made her first experiments in interpretative dancing to Ferruccio's accompaniment at the pianoforte . For her it was the pre lude to a distinguished stage career , for Gerda and Fer ruccio the beginning of a life - long friendship . 1901 Lefop.128 Busoni held two more Meisterklassen in later years - at Vienna in 1908 and at Basle in 1910 -- but both in his own memory and in that of his pupils the Weimar classes stood out as a unique experience . Not all of the Weimar pupils were to rise to fame - some indeed were eventually to abandon all hope of it . But distinguished or undis tinguished , fortunate or unfortunate , they were all to enjoy his friendship and the never - fading radiance of his inspiring personality .

His agent was told to keep his address a secret , and this caused some difficulty with the Philharmonic Society , which had proposed to perform a work of his . Busoni offered them the Faniasia Contrappuntistica , which had been orchestrated for him by Stock of Chicago . The Fantasia was composed , as Busoni stated openly in print , simply as a piece of music --- without any consideration for the instrument on which it was to be played . Busoni himself published it as a pianoforte solo , in which form it is hardly playable , and as a duet for two pianofortes . Middelschulte arranged it for the organ and Stock for orchestra . The Philharmonic directors were quite ignorant of all this , and Busoni never thought it necessary to en lighten them . p.199 ( 1013 ) Life 1 / ne pecho of 1901 Master klasse def so , where c Ae 1
