It brings together his most radically questioning reflections, which go hand in hand with a poetic approach very different from that adopted in the past. It is marked by the productive uncertainties and the utopian openness that are typical of his last, but earnest, creative phase. The texts cover topics such as other ways of listening, and how to consider the field of sounds: not in relation to three or four sounds as Ligeti and Stockhausen or others do, but to maintain different subdivisions, different relationships, and the different capacity of the ear and especially of technique.","PeriodicalId":161816,"journal":{"name":"Nostalgia for the Future","volume":"3 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131614312","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It considers the urgency of grounding the work of composition in an understanding of the historical emergence of social configurations, and represents the logical development of the program announced in 1959 with “Historical Presence of Music Today.” This, in fact, is the prelude to the passionate resumption of the Sartrian question “Why write?”, which, at the turn of a decade, is transformed into a harsh and thorough polemic against contemporary European avant-garde music. During those years, his orientation toward a politically focused musical production was sharpened and radicalized. It was aligned both with an agenda derived from a “progressive” reading of national culture and with that of the international workers' movement.","PeriodicalId":161816,"journal":{"name":"Nostalgia for the Future","volume":"89 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121099979","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It covers topics such as the split that took place between music theory and practice; whether the Italian conditions, the rare opportunities for work, force potential researchers to take what they can find; and the discovery of live electronics. He says that tape is no longer used, and, therefore, nothing is predetermined. The starting point is the study of sound in relation to the sound space, conducted analytically in Freiburg. The genuinely new factor is the musical component of the space. One works for days with the space to understand what can be done. No longer is there a predetermined distribution of the orchestral sound, but rather a sound that is newly created time after time.","PeriodicalId":161816,"journal":{"name":"Nostalgia for the Future","volume":"112 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124586336","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
