About this product
Product Information
Giacinto Scelsi (1905-1988), an extraordinary, innovative, and often controversial moving force in modern music, has been the subject of a vast amount of literary criticism, philosophical discussions, and groundbreaking performances. Originally in French, Scelsi's writings have been included in anthologies of prose, poetry, and memoires published in French, Italian, and German. For the first time, this volume brings selected writings into English. His writings enlighten the creative process and facilitate further the understanding of his musical message. Franco Sciannameo and Alessandra Carlotta Pellegrini provide two introductory essays followed by Scelsi's The Evolution of Harmony, The Evolution of Rhythm, Art and Satanism, Unity and Equalityof the Arts, Meaning of Music, Sound and Music, and Art and Knowledge-writings spanning from the early 1940s to February 1987. Additionally, the editors place Scelsi's aesthetical writings within a densely contextualized historical, social, and cultural landscape to provide scholarly yet approachable critical information. Iconographic plates, bibliography, discography, videography, websites and a comprehensive index complete the volume.

Reviews
In this fascinating volume, Sciannameo and Pellegrini provide the first English translations of Scelsi's writings on music. Indispensable for those wishing to observe Scelsi's musical journey from the terrestrial to the mystical., The English translation of selected texts by Giacinto Scelsi--philologically accurate and terminologically precise--is a most welcome complement to the recent translations of writings by European composers and the significant impulse to broaden the perspective on new musical thinking., This book rectifies a great gap in our understanding of this utterly original composer. We glean from Scelsi's own writings the depth of his thinking from both historical and aesthetic perspectives, how these changed over the course of his career and, most importantly, how these changes shaped his development as a composer of some of the most original masterpieces of the late 20th century.
