Document Summary
Compositional process: integral serialism (pitch, rhythm, timbre, and dynamics are all serialized) Concrete sounds (recording of a boy singing) + pure electronic sounds (sine tones + filtered noise) Prepared piano (piano with screws, bolts, rubber bands inserted into it) Mahler"s scherzo that is playing in the background (the same instruments) A collage: quotation music (most important iconic example) it uses music that was written by other composers ex: bachetc. Cello soloist + chinese traditional instruments + western orchestra. A capella satb soloists or chorus (which version do we have?) *note : piano in an orchestra not as a soloist - hint that the piece is from the 20th century. Note: the third and fourth movements are elided together, last movement is in c major (breaking convention) French movement developed by painters capturing a fleeting image of a subject through innovative use of light, color, and perspective. Fascination for continuous change in appearance of places and things.
