Students of Olivier Messiaen such as Tristan Murail and Gérard 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.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 245mmItem Length: 170mmItem Width: 13mmItem Weight: 380gAuthor: Marilyn NonkenGenre: Music Dance & TheatreBook Series: Music since 1900Release Year: 2016 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
