Of the post-war, post-serialist generation of European composers,
it was Luigi Nono who succeeded not only in identifying and
addressing aesthetic and technical questions of his time, but in
showing a way ahead to a new condition of music in the twenty-first
century. His music has found a listenership beyond the ageing
constituency of 'contemporary music'. In Nono's work, the audiences
of sound art, improvisation, electronic, experimental and radical
musics of many kinds find common cause with those concerned with
the renewal of Western art music. His work explores the
individually and socially transformative role of music; its
relationship with history and with language; the nature of the
musical work as distributed through text, time, technology and
individuals; the nature and performativity of the act of
composition; and, above all, the role and nature of listening as a
cultural activity. In many respects his music anticipates the new
technological state of culture of the twenty-first century while
radically reconnecting with our past. His work is itself a case
study in the evolution of musical activity and the musical object:
from the period of an apparently stable place for art music in
Western culture to its manifold new states in our century.
Routledge Handbook to Luigi Nono and Musical Thought seeks to trace
the evolution of Nono's musical thought through detailed
examination of the vast body of sketches, and to situate this
narrative in its personal, cultural and political contexts.
