"Sketch of a New Esthetic of Music" by Ferruccio Busoni is a philosophical treatise on music composition and theory written during the early 20th century. The book explores the nature of music as an art form and its potential to reflect the essence of nature and human emotion, moving beyond rigid structures and conventions. Busoni argues for a liberation of music from the constraints of traditional forms, expressing a vision for a new esthetic that embraces freedom and innovation. In this work, Busoni considers the evolution of music, likening it to a young art that has yet to fully realize its potential. He criticizes the reliance on classical forms and doctrines, advocating for a music that is inspired by the natural world and unfettered by strict musical rules. He further discusses the significance of emotional expression in music, suggesting that true artistry arises when composers prioritize personal expression over formal constraints. Busoni envisions a future for music that transcends current limitations, urging creators to explore new horizons and foster a deeper connection with the essence of their art.
