Busonis juvenilia are proving to be a real treasure trove, even when they are not necessarily first editions. Composed in Helsinki in 1890 and published shortly thereafter, theKultaselle Variationswere long considered as a special tip among Busoni insiders. Printed in 1883, theSerenataOp. 34 was based on a work of the same name for clarinet and piano. While theMrchen (Fairy Tale), written in 1879, bears the indication “for violoncello and piano” in the manuscript, it was an arranged clarinet part that was written out separately. It is not known which fairy tale Busoni had in mind when he wrote the work. The agitated middle section of the piece does, however, resemble theCavern of Steenfoll, the third piece of theRacconti fantasticiOp. 12 for piano, which was inspired by a fairy tale by Wilhelm Hauff.
