Sciannameo (fine arts, Carnegie Mellon U.) and Pellegrini, a musicologist and twentieth-century music specialist, assemble and translate 11 essays on his music and philosophy that were originally published in Italian, German, and French. European musicologists, performers, and composers, as well as a friend of Scelsi, analyze gestures in his piano music; his compositional process; the expressive atonality in his music; his theoretical and literary writings; the lives of his collaborators, composers Giacinto Sallustio, Walther Klein, and Richard Falk; his early work Rotativa; and the improvisations on audio tapes at the Fondazione Isabella Scelsi archives. Also included is a roundtable discussion from 1989 that considers debates about the authorship of his compositions after his death, when Vieri Tosatti claimed authorship. A comprehensive and detailed discography of recordings and collections is included. * Book News, Inc. *\u003cbr\u003eThis is doubtlessly a true of the German musicology. * Info-Netz-Musik *","brand":"Scarecrow Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51038374691159,"sku":"9780810884243","price":100.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780810884243.jpg?v=1750940102","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/music-as-dream-essays-on-giacinto-scelsi-9780810884243","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
