Condition: Gut. 12 S.; 20 cm; geheftet. Gutes Ex.; Einband etwas berieben. - Deutsch; italienisch. - Text von "R. Z." : . Die Akustik wird für ihn zur unentbehrlichen Stütze und damit zum ersten Mal Hauptfaktor der kompositorischen Mittel. Komponieren heißt, die tönenden Objekte anordnen, die aus einer unermeßlich weiten und unbegrenzten Gesamtheit ausgewählt wurden aufgrund nirgends nachzulesender Beobachtungen über ihre Dichte oder Kargheit, über die Verteilung der Gewichte, der Register, der Frequenzen, der jeweils möglichen Reichweite. Notwendigerweise gehört zu einer so wagemutigen intellektuellen Leistung, wie derjenigen Vareses, eine überschäumende, instinkthafte Vitalität, die imstande ist, mit dem bahnbrechenden Eifer des Experimentators die phantasievolle Betätigung der Erfindungsgabe zu verbinden sowie den historischen und menschlichen Weitblick in dem tiefen Wissen um die existenziellen Probleme.' Darin liegt der erforderliche Ausgleich zu den Laboratoriumsanalysen, zu dem durchleuchtenden Rationalismus, zu der wissenschaftlichen Härte. Man möge in diesem Zusammenhang noch einmal die Zeilen lesen, die C. Vuillermoz den Integrales gewidmet hat (" Excelsior " 1931): "Das Schlagzeug tritt dort oft mit der "grandeur" und der Majestät einer Naturkatastrophe auf, womit eine innere Erregung sich in neuer Form musikalisch darstellt. Dies schließt nicht aus, daß der Einsatz der Oboe bei dem großen "bouleversement" die Gebärde eines ungewöhnlichen Pathos annimmt. Ungeachtet seines wissenschaftlichen Titels ist das Werk jedoch in keiner Weise leidenschaftslos oder reine Gehirnarbeit. (vielmehr). tief menschlich empfunden". Oder die Äußerung von J. Ray über Deserts (1955): "ein Werk voll menschlicher Wärme, dem Gerechtigkeit widerfahren zu lassen es an der Zeit ist ". Varese hat also wirklich einen neuen Grenzbereich erschlossen. Mit seiner geräuschvollen Bilderstürmerei, mit seinem radikalen Sichverlassen auf die Wissenschaft - alles Dinge, die hier die echteste Ausdrucksform innerhalb der modernen Kunst finden - hat er einen Dialog wieder angeknüpft und in Gang gebracht, der allzu lange erstarrt war, den Dialog des Menschen mit der Natur und mit den Objekten der Klangwelt.

Papierbedingt leicht gebräunt. - Edgard Varèse (1883-1965) was a French-born composer who spent the greater part of his career in the United States. Varèse's music emphasizes timbre and rhythm. He coined the term "organized sound" in reference to his own musical aesthetic. Varèse's conception of music reflected his vision of "sound as living matter" and of "musical space as open rather than bounded". He conceived the elements of his music in terms of "sound-masses", likening their organization to the natural phenomenon of crystallization. Varèse thought that "to stubbornly conditioned ears, anything new in music has always been called noise", and he posed the question, "what is music but organized noises?"

Hardback. First Edition. 22 x 29cm 280pp near fine hardback in dust jacket. The pavilion designed by Le Corbusier for the Philips Company at the 1958 Brussels World's fair broadcasted a landmark multimedia production. The nearly two million visitors who entered the pavilion were treated not to the usual display of consumer products, but to a dazzling demonstration of cutting-edge technology in the service of the arts. This totally automated spectacle consisted of colour, voice, sound, and images sperimposed in a curvilinear space of concrete, orchestrated by Le Corbusier and his colleagues into a 480-second program. Here, Marc Treib looks at both this collaboration and the significance of the Philips project. Achieving for the first time his interest in using electronic media as a synthesis of the arts, Le Corbusier worked with the filmaker Philippe Agostini, the graphic designer and editor Jean Petit, the architect/composer Iannis Xenakis, and the composer Edgar Varese, whose piece "Poeme electronique" was composed for this project. Treib explains the idea and development of the building design - based on the geometry of the hyperbolic paraboloid - and how this ambitious vision materialized through an innovative system of precast concrete panels, engineer. With black and white reproductions throughout. Near fine in near fine dustjacket.
