In vielfaltiger und sehr unterschiedlicher Weise wurde das Klavier im 20. Jahrhundert zum Klingen gebracht: Klangfarblich-experimentelle Phanomene finden sich bei John Cages prapariertem Klavier, komplex konzipierte Rhythmik in Ligetis Klavieretuden, gattungsuberschreitende Tendenzen bei Stockhausen sowie expressiv-architektonisches Klaviersatzdenken bei Wolfgang Rihm. Mit anschaulichen Analysen und vielen Notenbeispielen wird im Band Klaviermusik des 20. Jahrhunderts ein spannender Einblick in die Gattung des zeitgenossischen Klavierwerks gegeben. Mit Kurzbiografie und Werkverzeichnis werden die Komponisten dabei auch ausserhalb ihres Klavierschaffens vorgestellt.

One of the great classics of 20th century choral modernism. Ligeti's thrilling 'Lux Aeterna' achieved global fame following its use on the soundtrack to Stanley Kubrick's 1968 film '2001: A Space Odyssey'. For 16-part Choir SATB, the work deploys Ligeti's technique of micropolyphony and uses cluster chords to create a densely buzzing haze of sound. Vocal Score.

The Kreutzer Sonata was originally dedicated not to Rudolphe Kreutzer (who never performed it) but to George Bridgetower, a famed 18th-century Afro-European concert violinist. In an early draft, Beethoven jokingly labeled the piece in starkly racialized terms: Sonata Mulattica composed for the mulatto Brischdauer, big wild mulatto composer.Beethoven and Bridgetower performed the premiere, which was by all accounts a success, and even featuring some improvised embellishment by the violinist. While celebrating afterwards, the two quarreled about what Beethoven construed as Bridgetower's insult of a female acquaintance; the composer then revoked the original dedication, adding Kreutzer's name instead. The work gained acclaim, while Bridgetower's career languished; he eventually died in poverty.Bridgetower has been the subject of considerable research and speculation, most notably in poet Rita Dove's book, Sonata Mulattica. From our 21st-century vantage, considering Bridgetower's unique circumstance, we can only see him as an ambiguous figure who, in embodying difference, provoked inspiration, fantasy, desire, anger and, finally, erasure.My piece is a collection of imaginings about George Bridgetower. It is not programmatic, but it takes on an episodic character, assembled from contrasting fragments. The dance rhythms, recurring figures and gestural contours are intended to feature the embodied expertise and expressivity of the performers, who at times must access liminal sounds and execute complex synchronies. I am grateful to Jenny Koh and Shai Wosner for involving me in their beautiful, virtuosic music-making.

Appalachian fiddle music, based on the musical traditions of the people who settled in the mountainous regions of the southeastern United States, is widely-known and played throughout North America and parts of Europe because of its complex rhythms, its catchy melodies, and its often-ancient-sounding stylistic qualities. The authors explore the lives and music of 43 of the classic Appalachian fiddlers who were active during the first half of the 20th century. Some of them were recorded commercially in the 1920s, such as Gid Tanner, Fiddlin? John Carson, and Charlie Bowman. Some were recorded by folklorists from the Library of Congress, such as William Stepp, Emmett Lundy, and Marion Reece. Others were recorded informally by family members and visitors, such as John Salyer, Emma Lee Dickerson, and Manco Sneed. All of them played throughout most of their lives and influenced the growth and stylistic elements of fiddle music in their regions. Each fiddler has been given a chapter with a biography, several tune transcriptions, and tune histories. To show the richness of the music, the authors make a special effort to show the musical elements in detail, but also acknowledge that nothing can take the place of listening. Many of the classic recordings used in this book can be found on the web, allowing you to hear and read the music together.
