Ferrueclo Busonl
Busoni was born in Empoli in 1866 and died in Berlin in 1924. He was a celebrated pianist and considered by many to be one of the finest teachers of composition of his day. Busoni's attitude to his own compositions is probably best illustrated by a writer's remark that he was ' born Latin, bred Teuton.'

'A man with one theory is lost, he needs several of them, four, lots!'
(Bertolt Brecht Diaries 1920-22)

John Fuegi, Professor of Comparative Literature at the University of Maryland, has been reading new translations of Brecht's Diaries and of Klaus Volker's Brecht: a Biography. He suggests that previous theories about Brecht's life offer a partial picture of the man and reflects on new aspects of Brecht which these works present.
