Composed in 1913/14, it was first performed in Berlin in March 1914, with the composer as soloist.[1] The piece is based on several melodies and rhythms from various American Indian tribes; Busoni had received them from American ethnomusicologist Natalie Curtis Burlin. The fantasy describes the American prairie, and is in three movements:
