Distinguished Pianist Closes Contract
with Manager M. H. Hanson for Next Season
Ferruccio Busoni, the celebrated pianist, who has been creating a sensation abroad, has finally closed a contract with M. H. Hanson, who conducted the Wullner-Bos tour this season, for a series of concerts in this country next season. The tour will begin early in January and will include appearances with the leading symphony orchestras, besides in recital. The name of the piano which will be used has not, as yet, been divulged.
Busoni ranks among the best interpreters of Bach. He has taught in Helsingfors, at the Moscow Conservatory, and at the New England Conservatory of Music in Brooklyn. He was born in Florence on April 1, 1866. This season his greatest success was won in Berlin, where his recital aroused great enthusiasm.
