Atmosphères, Aura, Stimmung:
three Avant-garde music masterpieces.
Can music suggest an original interpretation of these themes?
Thinking about the predictable in-presence 4th International Congress on Ambiances 2020 I wrote:“I will propose to the listener some significant fragments of these three compositions to trigger a discussion that will focus on the core of my intervention: single-word titles that have implications that reach far beyond mere musical fact. My question will be: ‘Can music offer an original interpretation of these themes suggesting new research perspectives?’” An unpredictable situation forces to rearrange the sequence: the proceedings will precede the other actions. My question remains and, since I am a composer, I feel comfortable purposing this text as the draft of a score. A score is an imagined memory of a musical event to come. I propose here a two steps participative process: a de-composition and a re-composition.
