Henle's 19-page edition is based upon this last authorised version. Busoni's fingering is marked in italics, while Marc-André Hamelin's unobtrusive suggestions are also included. An interesting, two-page preface outlining the history of the work, a critical commentary and comments on the piano roll of Busoni's performance of the piece complete an excellent package.

Pianist, 2016

(...) this urtext is his final (1916) word on the piece.

Music teacher Magazine, 2015

Seine Chaconne hat Busoni mehrmals umgearbeitet und auch auf einer Klavierrolle eingespielt. Alle daraus resultierenden Einsichten hat der G. Henle Verlag nun in einer mustergültigen Neuausgabe vereint, zusammen mit kongenialen Fingersätzen des kanadischen Virtuosen Marc-André Hamelin.

Schweizer Musikzeitung, 2015

Of hieruit een ware Urtext voortkomt zal discutabel blijven, maar absoluut duidelijk is dat deze uitgave van Busoni's bewerking thans met afstand de grondigst onderzochte is.
