The most influential compositional movement of the past fifty
years, spectralism was informed by digital technology but also
extended the aesthetics of pianist-composers such as Franz Liszt,
Alexander Scriabin and Claude Debussy. Students of Olivier Messiaen
such as Tristan Murail and Gerard Grisey sought to create a
cooperative committed to exploring the evolution of timbre in time
as a basis for the musical experience. In The Spectral Piano,
Marilyn Nonken shows how the spectral attitude was influenced by
developments in technology but also continued a tradition of
performative and compositional virtuosity. Nonken explores shared
fascinations with the musical experience, which united spectralists
with their Romantic and early Modern predecessors. Examining
Murail's Territoires de l'oubli, Jonathan Harvey's Tombeau de
Messiaen, Joshua Fineberg's Veils, and Edmund Campion's A Complete
Wealth of Time, she reveals how spectral concerns relate not only
to the past but also to contemporary developments in philosophical
aesthetics.
