Compositional Technique

Pierluigi Billone's (born 1960) Mani.Matta (2008) for percussion focuses on the totality of sound, exploring various ways of striking and stopping marimba keys with different mallets, hands, knuckles, or fingertips.

Composer's Artistic Vision

In Salvatore Sciarrino's music, the succession of 'words' is determined by the equivocal paths of the mind, which include expectation and repetition.

Composition History

Fabio Nieder's (born 1957) piece Thümmels Vergissmein-Lied (2010-2012) is part of a larger operatic project about Vito Thümmel, a Trieste painter who wished to forget all the words in the world.

Composer's Artistic Vision

Franco Donatoni's (1927-2000) later works are characterized by an implacable dynamism where movement is rigid and changes abruptly, creating a sense of both constant motion and stillness.

Composer Biography

Salvatore Sciarrino (born 1947) is an Italian composer who associates the terms 'wood' and 'word' in his 2004 piece, Il legno e la parola, for a percussionist.
