This collection of seven ELEGIES (ELEGIEN) by Ferruccio Busoni (1866-1924) was written originally in 1907 with only six pieces as BV 249. The original six piano pieces can be played as a cycle, or played separately. When played as a cycle, the last piece (Erscheinung, Notturno) ends with a motive from the beginning of the first (Nach der Wendung), though when the sixth piece is played separately, it has a different ending. In 1909, Busoni added the seventh piece, Berceuse, BV 252. Movements: 1. Nach der Wendung; 2. All' Italia! In modo napolitano; 3. "Meine Seele bangt hofft zu Dir" Choralvorspiel; 4. Turandots Frauengemach, Intermezzo; 5. Die Nächtlichen, Walzer; 6. Erscheinung, Notturno; 7. Berceuse.
