Giacinto Scelsi - String Trio (w/ score) (1958)

[@klangschatten5610]

It is a very beautiful string trio.

[@EduardLaurel]

Astonishing. Superb.

[@christophedevos3760]

Scelsi was way ahead of his time. And I think Ligeti has heard these pieces when he wrote 'Atmosphères'.

That reminds me, I have to deal with that bees' nest in the roof.

Very funny. Very funny indeed.

[@johnpcomposer]

Very appropriate.. Or if I may, it reminds me, in places, of my hair clippers before and while you are zooming through hair. I have never been completely won over by techniques that accidentally or intentionally imitate the sounds of the mechanized world...scraping, buzzing, grinding, hollow windy sounds...drain pipes gurgling....etc. Sirens I like because they are innately musical. for me these one note kind of compositions are not very interesting. I may as well be listening to the oscillations of a fan or a wrench left on hot air duct. My lawn tractor has a certain chordal sound to it and when I ride it I compose something in or around that chord and see if I can escape it's tonal center or just get caught in it for 45 minutes. This music is likely after he was institutionalized...if you've heard some of his one note piano improvisations you may note a similarity in his fixation on single pitch.

Hello! I'm particularly eager to know the premiere time and venue of the "String Trio" as well as the time and place where it was first recorded. I hope you can share all the information about this work with me. This information will be of great help to my master's thesis. Thank you very much.

Great music! Do you perhaps know where I could find the scores? I have been trying to purchase it but the websites don't look trustworthy... Thanks in advance! :)

wtf is this?

[@markasmichmel]

Contemporary classical music :)

[@en0by]

This is High Modern. Scelsi was decades ahead of his time, though.

[@romanczura4146]

@@en0by What do You mean by that comment? Is this a criteria of quality of some sort? :)

[@en0by]

@@romanczura4146 Nope, 'high modern' is just a posited era in classical music history that occurred immediately prior to the postmodern era. Nothing to do with quality.

[@romanczura4146]

@@en0by Oh, I didn't refer to that part of Your comment, but to the "ahead of his time" part - which I find very questionable if seen as a sign of quality (besides what shall that really say? Ahead of his time...). Also the question is, what progressiveness in music IS. Was Scelsi really a progressive composer?
