 Verdi Transcriptions (Finnissy)

"Verdi Transcriptions" by Michael Finnissy refers to a series of piano transcriptions of works by the Italian composer Giuseppe Verdi. Finnissy, a contemporary British composer known for his highly individual style and complex musical language, created these transcriptions to reinterpret Verdi's operatic music for the piano. Finnissy's transcriptions often involve a unique blend of fidelity to the original material and his own compositional voice, resulting in works that can be both recognizable and distinct in their new contexts.
