Four live performances celebrating the 50th birthday of Swedish
trombonist, conductor and composer, Christian Lindberg.
In Remembering the Future Luciano Berio shares with us some musical
experiences that "invite us to revise or suspend our relation with
the past and to rediscover it as part of a future trajectory." His
scintillating meditation on music and the ways of experiencing it
reflects the composer's profound understanding of the history and
contemporary practice of his art. There is much in this short book
that provides insight on Berio's own compositions. Indeed, he
comments that writing it "led me to formulate thoughts that might
otherwise have remained concealed in the folds of my work." He
explores themes such as transcription and translation, poetics and
analysis, "open work," and music theater. The reader will also find
here numerous insights on the work of other composers, past and
present, and much more. A figure of formidable intellect, Berio
ranges easily among topics such as Schenkerian analysis, the
criticism of Carl Dahlhaus and Theodor Adorno, the works of his
friends and sometime collaborators Italo Calvino and Umberto Eco.
But Berio carries his learning lightly-his tone is conversational,
often playful, punctuated by arresting aphorisms: "The best
possible commentary on a symphony is another symphony." Remembering
the Future is the text of Berio's Charles Eliot Norton Lectures of
1993-94, now made available for the first time.
