Add to basketSchweizerische Erstaufführung. 34 n. n. Seiten und die Beilagen: "Biografien 90 / 91" Doppelblatt "Programm" sowie 10 lose Bll. "Handlung" (diese zweisprachig Englisch - Deutsch). Mit zahlreichen s/w Abbildungen. Illustrierte Originalbroschur. (Geringe Gebrauchsspuren). 31x16,5 cm * Zweisprachig. Deutsch und Englisch. In German…and English. ----- Europeras ist der Titel einer Opernserie des Komponisten John Cage in fünf Teilen. Sie sind in seinem typischen experimentellen Stil gehalten. Die Bühne der Opern ist in 64 Quadrate aufgeteilt, welche das Schema für den Bühnenablauf bilden. Die Positionen der Menschen und Gegenstände auf der Bühne sind zufallsbestimmt. Innerhalb einer exakt vorgegebenen Aufführungsdauer wurden mit Hilfe des ältesten chinesischen Orakelbuches I-Ging zufällige Zeiteinheiten festgelegt, während deren die einzelnen Beteiligten ihre Aktionen ausführen. Europeras 1 & 2: In seinen Opern Europeras 1 & 2 aus 200 Opern in 64 Bildern dekonstruiert John Cage mittels Zufallsoperationen die Sprache der klassischen Opern des 18. und 19. Jahrhunderts. Cage stellte das Konzept zusammengefasst so dar: 200 Jahre lang haben uns die Europäer ihre Opern geschickt. Nun schicke ich sie alle zurück. Er unterwarf nicht nur die Musik dem Zufallsgenerator, sondern auch Bühnenbild, Requisiten, Licht, Tanzfiguren und Opernarien. Die Musik wurde von ihm zufällig aus über 200 Opern ausgewählt und wird ohne Dirigent aufgeführt. Den 28 Musikern ist freigestellt, wann sie diese innerhalb fest vorgegebener Zeitblöcke spielen. Die Opernarien werden jeden Abend zufällig ausgewählt und von 19 Solisten zu anderen Zeitpunkten und Orten auf der Bühne gesungen. Die Spieldauern sind exakt 90 bzw. 45 Minuten, die mittels einer Digitaluhr angezeigt werden, damit alle Beteiligten ihre Einsätze exakt einhalten können. Europeras 1 & 2 bildet Cages größte und radikalste Musiktheaterarbeit. Es gibt keine Handlung, aber eine Zusammenfassung im dadaistischen Stil, die aus Opernlibretti zusammengestellt wurde. Sie stellt eine Anti-Oper dar, an die das Publikum nur schwer herangeführt werden kann. Keine der Noten ist von Cage im ursprünglichen Sinne komponiert worden, sondern er benutzt nur urheberrechtlich nicht mehr geschütztes Material anderer Komponisten. Cage vermeidet in seinem Kompositionsprozess jegliche Semantisierung und erst in der inhaltlich nicht vom Komponisten beeinflussbaren Kombination der einzelnen Ebenen entstehen zufällige und unkalkulierbare semantische Bezüge. Das Werk ist eine Auftragsarbeit von Heinz-Klaus Metzger und Rainer Riehn. Die Uraufführung erfolgte im Dezember 1987 an der Oper Frankfurt unter Gary Bertini. Das Werk wird nur selten aufgeführt und ist noch nie eingespielt worden. 2012 eröffnete Heiner Goebbels mit ihm die Ruhrtriennale. 2017 wurde es am Staatstheater Braunschweig mit 4'33" als Ouvertüre aufgeführt, 2019 an der Oper Wuppertal unter dem Titel PLAY* Europeras 1&2 in der Regie von Daniel Wetzel vom Kollektiv Rimini Protokoll. (Quelle Wikipedia) ----- John Milton Cage Jr. (* 5. September 1912 in Los Angeles; 12. August 1992 in New York City) war ein US-amerikanischer Komponist und Künstler. Mit seinen mehr als 250 Kompositionen, die häufig als Schlüsselwerke der Neuen Musik angesehen werden, gilt er als einer der weltweit einflussreichsten Komponisten des 20. Jahrhunderts. Hinzu kommen musik- und kompositionstheoretische Arbeiten von grundsätzlicher Bedeutung. Außerdem gilt Cage als Schlüsselfigur für die Ende der 1950er Jahre entstehende Happeningbewegung und als wichtiger Anreger für die Fluxusbewegung und die Neue Improvisationsmusik. Neben seinem kompositorischen Schaffen betätigte er sich auch als Maler und befasste sich mit Mykologie, der Wissenschaft von den Pilzen. Der französische Musiker und Philosoph Daniel Charles verweist auf den ironischen Titel von Cages Arbeit Il Treno. Alla Ricerca del Silenzio Perduto (Der Zug. Auf der Suche nach der verlorenen Stille) und die Nähe zu Heideggers Ding. Während es bei Heidegger die Nähe sei, die der Mensch vergeblich suche, in der falschen Annahme, dass sie mit einer kurzen Entfernung gleichzusetzen sei, so sei es bei Cage die vergebliche Suche nach Stille vergeblich insofern, als es Cage zufolge Stille im Sinne absoluter Geräuschlosigkeit nicht gibt.

A pristine Souvenir Printout of the April 14, 1990 "John Cage: Music of The Spheres" Essay by Bill Marvel, signed by John Cage. The first and only edition. There is… no ISBN. The Souvenir Printout is now rare. It is very beautifully printed on archival, thick uncoated stock paper by The Dallas Morning News to the highest standards. In protective plastic sheet with hard board backing. Without DJ, as issued. Presents Bill Marvel's "John Cage: Music of The Spheres" Essay. Published by The Dallas Morning News to announce and celebrate the premiere performance of John Cage's "Seven" as part of The Fifteenth Anniversary Season of the Voices of Change Ensemble. For a pioneering and ground-breaking group exclusively dedicated to new music, in deeply conservative Texas of all places, a truly admirable and moving milestone. Using otherwise conventional instruments (that are sometimes altered), they performed pieces by John Cage, Alexander Chaikovsky, Donald Grantham, and Henry Brant, among other 20th-century composers, over two unforgettable evenings. Cage was, unquestionably, the most influential and celebrated of the present group of composers (who were still living at the time). Aaron Copland and Igor Stravinsky were also performed in a separate concert. The Cage commission, "Seven", is named after the piece's seven instruments (flute, clarinet, percussion, violin, viola, cello, and piano), and marks the unconventional composer's return to conventional Classical Music instruments. "When I was young, you could either follow Stravinsky or Schoenberg. I chose Schoenberg. But if you imitate Schoenberg, what have you got? More Schoenberg. What we have now is an art based on many possibilities instead of one or 32. Our notion of what is beautiful has more windows into it" (John Cage). An absolute "must-have" title for John Cage collectors. This copy of the Souvenir Printout is very boldly and beautifully signed in purple pen-marker by John Cage. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. John Cage made a rare appearance for the performance of the piece that he composed for the Ensemble. This title is a late-modern classic. This is the only such signed copy available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. A rare, one-of-a-kind signed copy thus. One of the most important and influential composers of the 20th century. A fine copy. Signed by Author.

A history of Black Mountain College, the experimental college located in North Carolina that, although only in existence 24 years, h…ad a profound and lasting influence as a major incubator of the American avant garde. Cage taught at Black Mountain from 1948 to 1952, and was in residence during the summer of 1953. It was here that Cage organized the first of what would later become known as "happenings," a term coined by Cage's student Allan Kaprow some years later. Very Good plus in a Very Good dust jacket. Owner name on the front endpaper. Page edges lightly foxed, with minor fading to the board edges. Jacket has several short closed tears, a few reinforced with cello tape on the verso, light creasing, and some minor chipping. Signed.

Very good. - Over 110 words penned in two columns on his personal 7 inch high by 8-1/2 inch wide ruled "Message/Reply" stationery. John Cage writes to Sydney Cowell, Henry Cowell's widow, about Henry Cowell's compositions "Recv enclosed letter from my Japanese composer fri…end. Located piece (in Ms.) at Lincoln Center. It is actually 2 pieces called Set of Two but one was too difficult and the other was recorded (in Japan?) under the title Prelude for Vn & Hapschd. I have given Kuniharu Akiyama's address to Mr. Jackson." He goes on to indirectly refer to his own compositions "Renga" and "Apartment House 1776" which were performed in Boston: "The Boston piece went very well. Seiji was marvelous. Now must wk with Boulez on it. Singers were great." Signed "John". There are minor annotations along the top edge in an unidentified hand and staple holes at top left. Else, near fine. John Cage's compositions "Renga" and "Apartment House 1776" were performed simultaneously by the Boston Symphony Orchestra under Seiji Ozawa on September 29, 1976. Boulez performed the works with the New York Philharmonic on November 5th of that year. The Japanese avant-garde composer Kuniharu Akiyama (1929-1996) was also a music critic and a poet. He was a founding member of the Jikken Kobo group of avant-garde artists. The American avant-garde composer John Cage (1912-1992) was a pioneer in electroacoustic music and the unconventional use of instruments. An artist and music theorist, he was Merce Cunningham's lover and influential in the development of modern dance. Henry Cowell and Arnold Schoenberg were both his teachers. Henry Cowell's wife, Sidney Robertson Cowell (1903-1995) was a pianist and an American ethnomusicologist and collector of folk songs.
