Giacinto Scelsi (1905-1988), an extraordinary, innovative, and
often controversial moving force in modern music, has been the
subject of a vast amount of literary criticism, philosophical
discussions, and groundbreaking performances. Originally in French,
Scelsi's writings have been included in anthologies of prose,
poetry, and memoires published in French, Italian, and German. For
the first time, this volume brings selected writings into English.
His writings enlighten the creative process and facilitate further
the understanding of his musical message. Franco Sciannameo and
Alessandra Carlotta Pellegrini provide two introductory essays
followed by Scelsi's The Evolution of Harmony, The Evolution of
Rhythm, Art and Satanism, Unity and Equalityof the Arts, Meaning of
Music, Sound and Music, and Art and Knowledge-writings spanning
from the early 1940s to February 1987. Additionally, the editors
place Scelsi's aesthetical writings within a densely contextualized
historical, social, and cultural landscape to provide scholarly yet
approachable critical information. Iconographic plates,
bibliography, discography, videography, websites and a
comprehensive index complete the volume.
