Lest we forget..........

Luigi Russolo's Art of Noises includes a list of conclusions:

1. Futurist composers should use their creativity and innovation to "enlarge and enrich the field of sound" by approaching the "noise-sound."
2. Futurist musicians should strive to replicate the infinite timbres in noises.
3. Futurist musicians should free themselves from the traditional and seek to explore the diverse rhythms of noise.
4. The complex tonalities of noise can be achieved by creating instruments that replicate that complexity.
5. The creation of instruments that replicate noise should not be a difficult task, since the manipulation of pitch will be simple once the mechanical principles that create the noise have been recreated. Pitch can be manipulated through simple changes in speed or tension.
6. The new orchestra will not evoke new and novel emotions by imitating the noises of life, but by finding new and unique combinations of timbres and rhythms in noise, to find a way to fully express the rhythm and sound that stretches beyond normal un-inebriated comprehension.
7. The variety of noise is infinite, and as man creates new machines the number of noises he can differentiate between continues to grow.
8. Therefore, he invites all talented musicians to pay attention to noises and their complexity, and once they discover the broadness of noise's palette of timbres, they will develop a passion for noise. He predicts that our "multiplied sensibility, having been conquered by futurist eyes, will finally have some futurist ears, and . . . every workshop will become an intoxicating orchestra of noise. - Wikipedia

Myaskovsky was his teacher and Schnittke was a pupil for five years. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evgeny_Golubev

Zara Levina - Piano Concerto #1 1942 http://home.online.nl/ovar/levina.htm

Gloriously late romantic piano concerto with modern hints, as per Rachmaninov.

Hard to know why this beautiful music is virtually unknown.

I'm part way through the second movement and loving every note!

There are times when it seems that the beaten track must be very small and narrow and what's off it enormous. One has only to think, for example, of Weinberg whose work's generally been regarded (when it's been regarded at all) as well off the beaten track but over recent years this has changed and it has been possible not merely to reassess (or indeed assess) a composer who's been relatively unknown for decades but also to adapt one's view of Russian musical history in the second half of the previous century.

Of course there are many more such examples but it occurs to me that, over the past century or so, Weinberg's case is perhaps one of the more glaring. Another is Sorabji (with whose work some members will be aware that I am heavily involved), whose first known pieces date from 1915 but whose music was hardly ever broadcast until the 1970s, unrecorded until the 1980s and mostly unpublished or out of print until the 1990s, yet now almost 70 of his works have been performed and/or broadcast in at least 27 countries and almost 40 CDs/CD sets of or including his work have been issued.

As my interest in Sorabji deepened over the last couple of years, I bought a download of his organ concerto #1.

Listening through in one go was a tough, but rewarding experience.

These days I listen to a movement at a time.

This is an unusual work within the works of a neglected composer.

Hi Rob

Where are you getting this stuff from?

Yes Beefmeister,mainly you tube.

I enjoyed listening his symphony #7 this morning. I particularly enjoyed the 2nd movement.

Good find, Rob
