Journal Article
FROM NATIONALISM TO TRANSNATIONALISM
2018
Overview
Ferruccio Busoni had aspired to become a leading figure of Italian music since at least 1908. His acceptance of the directorship of the Liceo Musicale di Bologna in 1913 represents his most visible attempt to realize his nationalistic aims. He desired to help re-establish Italy as a leading musical country in terms of orchestral concert life, composition, music scholarship, music education, and performance venues. Yet he made only a few steps forward before his vision had to be put on hold due to bureaucratic red tape, budget constraints, long-standing traditions, and changes in government. Moreover, the First World War, which was fuelled by nationalist agendas, also contributed to Busoni’s eventual renunciation of nationalistic artistic goals. This article shows that there is a direct connection between Busoni’s experiences in Bologna in conjunction with the outbreak of the First World War and his adoption of a transnational aesthetic as exemplified in the composition of Arlecchino.
