Luigi Nono ..... sofferte onde serene ... for piano and magnetic tape dedicated to Maurizio and Marilisa Pollini * About the composition: The title of "..... sofferte onde serene ..." (translatable, perhaps, as "..... serene waves suffered ...") has an indeterminate, hovering quality which derives from the unusual order of the words. Composed in 1976 and dedicated to Maurizio and Marilisa Pollini, it marks the new phase in Nono’s compositional career that followed his second stage work "Al gran sole carico d’amore" (1972-75). The big contrasts, the "contrapuntalism", the use of heterogeneous materials, all the things characteristic of his earlier music, are abandoned here. Piano clusters are studied in a variational light; Nono shows particular interest in the control of the swelling and subsiding of reverberation, deriving an enormous variety of nuances from different kinds of attack and pedal-use, from stamps on the pedal that set the whole instrument reverberating, or - in the case of taped sounds - from careful electronic modifications. Taped and live sounds form independent planes without conflicts: they complement and enlarge each other, with echoes and pre-echoes, and often run inseparably into each other: different aspects of a single object, musical musings on identity. The piece also contains some personal elements: sorrow for the death of relatives of Nono and Pollini, and the sound-world of Nono’s home town of Venice: "In my house on the Giudecca in Venice the sound of various bells rung in different ways and with different meanings reach our ears continuously, day and night, through the fog or in the sunshine. "They are indications of life on the lagoon, on the sea. "Calls to work and to meditation, warnings. "And life continues there in the painful and calm necessity of the 'balance of the deep interior', as Kafka says." (Luigi Nono). "..... sofferte onde serene ..." was the composer’s first step along a new path, which had led him via the string quartet "Fragmente - Stille, An Diotima" to "Prometeo".

5th listen to last5minutes. Incredible.Completely different from other Italians.On my 3rd listen i began to really make sense,find correlation in Nonos material,clusters,repeated notes,the abundace of piano registers. There's so much here! Im fallingin love w/this music.People memorize Boulez 2nd Sonata but this ocean of clusters and foggy,indecipherable indefinite basses. Geese. U can't remember hearing it either. I get its meaning and what it's for but Takemitsu seems like something I can return to. The last 3 minutes made an impression upon me!
Pollini is fearless . He has played this music often . How intersting to hear it in Salzburg. He was lucky Stockhausen,Maderna,Nono,Berio were so talked about the common man in the street knew about them. His remarkable Boulez2nd Sonata has been with me all my life and I think it enlightened many about what music could do.
It is incredible to be able to see the keyboard and hear the piece at the same time. The distinction between piano and tape become even more clear, and that "primes" the ear for later interventions from the laguna of Venice -- boats, perhaps, striking against the wood of the piers, the bells, chiming, somewhat muted... An exquisite performance! It's also wonderful to see what the score looked like! Mille grazie.
One Xmas in Venice I was on Giudecca, where Nono lived. The bells throughout Venice started ringing at what I presumed was the high point of the Mass (I am not a practicing Catholic). The apparent randomness others hear in the music was replicated in what actually was happening. Suddenly this piece came into focus for me. As much as this is Pollini’s piece, it is good to see there are now other performances available. We now need more recordings of Il canto sospeso.

A master interpreter of modern music. He will be missed!

Wow ! Many many domos for sharing this rare, precious film. So fascinating to watch, and listen to !!
Many many domos! 😂
Thank you too for sharing Pollini videos (Beethoven’s Opp. 107/3 & 108/5) on your channel! Fantastic!
It is incredible to be able to see the keyboard and hear the piece at the same time.
The distinction between piano and tape become even more clear, and that "primes"
the ear for later interventions from the laguna of Venice -- boats, perhaps, striking
against the wood of the piers, the bells, chiming, somewhat muted...
An exquisite performance!
It's also wonderful to see what the score looked like! Mille grazie.
You’re very welcome! Thanks too for your comments. Glad you enjoyed this gem ☺️
Masterpiece. 3 geniuses: Nono, Pollini, Vidolin.
I really love that music, great performance. Thanks a lot for share Jun !!!
I’m very glad to hear that! I love this masterpiece too. Thank you too! 😄
Heard this in the QEH London. Stunning! Must be 25 years ago...

開心看到他老人家健康安泰
Bless you
Pollini died today...what a loss!!!
Un chef d'oeuvre!
2:35 i don't think i would even notice if the maestro simply starts playing the wrong page
Sorrow of the waves.
sodelicious
Sono nuova alla musica di Nino.qualxuno puo spiegarmi cosa vuol dire "nastro"?

To me the question arises whether this is music at all or rather bullshit in its highest perfection?

Peccato per l’errore al minuto 7:45.. mi pare abbia invertito due note.. per il resto esecuzione magistrale come sempre. ❤️
