The ''Turandot Suite'', Op. 41 (BV 248) is an orchestral work by Ferruccio Busoni written in 1904-5, based on Carlo Gozzi's play ''Turandot''. The music – in one form or another – occupied Busoni at various times between the years 1904-1917. Busoni arranged the suite from incidental music which he was composing to accompany a production of Gozzi's play. The suite was first performed in October 1905, while the play with his incidental music was not produced until 1911. In August 1916 Busoni had finished composing the one-act opera ''Arlecchino'', but it needed a companion work to provide a full evening's entertainment. He suddenly decided to transform the ''Turandot'' music into a two-act opera with spoken dialog. The two works were premiered together as a double-bill in May 1917.〔Dent, p. 233; Beaumont (1985), pp. 240-241.〕 ==Original titles of the suite and its movements== The original German title (its English translation ) is:〔Busoni (1906)〕〔The English translation of the titles was aided by reference to Betteridge, ''The New Cassell's German Dictionary''.〕 :''Orchestersuite aus der Musik zu Gozzis Märchendrama "Turandot"'' :(Suite from the Music to Gozzi's Fairy Tale Drama "Turandot" ) The titles of the eight movements as published in 1906 are: In 1911 Busoni composed ''Verzweiflung und Ergebung'' ("Despair and Resignation", BV 248a) as an additional movement to be played between nos. VII and VIII. Even later, after completing the opera ''Turandot'' in 1917, he replaced the Funeral March of No. VIII with ''Altoums Warnung'' ("Altoum's Warning", BV 248b). The musicologist and Busoni scholar Antony Beaumont has stated that the final version of the suite, including both of these later additions, is the "definitive" version.〔Beaumont (1985), p. 85.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Turandot Suite」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
