	Nono, Luigi
		Luigi Nono was born in Venice on 29 January 1924.
		To Nono, it was important that his works were adopted by all social classes: in 1962 he organized the first of many discussion concerts which featured his music.
		Nono regarded his native and home town Venice as a symbol of such aesthetics of change.

	Luigi Nono's Prometeo: a revolutionary's swansong
		For, according to Nono, musical space has been subordinated to visual space: since the advent of the concert hall and the opera house, everything is focusing on the actors or the musicians on the scene, or, worse still, the gesticulation of the conductor.
		Their mid-position as far as dynamics is concerned is further enhanced through timbre: Nono’s voices are singing clearly, which contrasts with the ‘infrasonorous’ sound of the hesitatingly produced sounds on the instruments, or with the ‘suprasonorous’ vehemence of the deafening chords and clusters played by the whole orchestra.
		The failure of the revolt – the Prometeo is written in the era of the triumphant advent of neo-liberalism under the auguries of Tatcher and Reagan – devaluates the aim to illusion and the striving for it to sin – the sin of hybris.

	Luigi Nono - Voices of Protest
		Luigi Nono has long been recognised as a crucial figure of post-war European modernism; yet, outside isolated events such as the 1995 retrospective at Huddersfield, his work remains little heard in the UK.
		Nono worked experimentally with the sound engineer and interpreters and no completed appeared; editors at Ricordi, Nono's publishers, have referred to his notebooks and the recollections of the original performers.
		Most important composers suffer a period of neglect after their deaths, but in the decade since Luigi Nono died his significance and the importance of his achievement seem finally to be getting the appreciation, performances and recordings they deserve.

	Luigi Nono by David C F Wright: MusicWeb (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Luigi Nono was a somewhat withdrawn man. He did not have an expansive nature.
		Nono became interested and, indeed, fascinated by both the mechanics and the science of music and the development of the artistry within new forms.
		Nono was a communist and a member of the Central Committee of the Communist party.

	The Ensemble Sospeso - Luigi Nono
		The Italian composer Luigi Nono was born in Venice in 1924 and died there in 1990.
		Nono’s first works, written between 1950 and 1953, are pointillistic, but the profound concentration of expression transcends the limitations of this style.
		Nono put his research on the acoustical properties of sound to work in his compositions of the seventies: the unforgettable Como una ola de fuerza y luz for soprano, piano, orchestra, and electronic tape (1971-1972);...sofferte onde serene...

		On the other hand, NONO continued to use the various affective forms of the tradition--exposed elements of pathos, for instance, such as in a fanfare--things that BOULEZ and others had rejected from their structuralist thinking.
		NONO did not employ such sonorities in any embellished or virtuoso or ornamental way; rather his creativity lay in dissecting closer and closer to the very inner nature of the sounds, creating from within the broken pieces.
		In the midst of all these political circumstances, I realized that when NONO stood up and walked out, this was his way to break the stalemate wide open, the posture he assumed to get things moving.

		Luigi Nono (1924-1990) spent his career as the political activist among the Darmstadt serialist composers.
		While Nono's use of 12-tone technique is generally more "lyrical" and melodically continuous than that of the other prominent Darmstadt serialists, he places little weight on the intelligibility of his texts; in Il Canto sospeso, for instance, the heart-wrenching words are split up among parts of the chorus in a way that denies semantic listening.
		Nono pays homage to his texts, but given his serialist context doesn't particularly use them less abstractly than Palestrina uses "Credo in unum Deum." Likewise, Ricorda cosa ti hanno fatto in Auschwitz is a strange and lovely piece, with occasional outbursts of violent sound, but more often languorously gliding echoes of reverberant female voices.

	Luigi Nono's 'Quando stanno morendo. Diario Polacco 2. Cries, whispers and celestial voices'
		Luigi Nono is lavish with fermatas – a musical sign that prolongs the duration of the note above which it is placed.
		And it is also important because Luigi Nono’s resort to such systems, cannot but belie his contention that, to him, sound is in the first place a pure phenomenon*.
		Although Luigi Nono does not yield to the triumphalistic pathos - sung on the tones of a dodecaphonic series - of the very Arnold Schönberg that dedicated himself to the Zionist case.

		During the mid- to late-1950s, Nono taught at Darmstadt, the center of European serialism, and with Boulez and Stockhausen was the foremost exponent of that music on the continent.
		Nono's adoption of serialism was a response to the domination of capitalism, imperialism, and the continued subjugation of the many by the few.
		Nono's work is among the most vital and dynamic to emerge from the 20th century avant-garde, and in our modern world of Fascism, war, and imperialism, the political message which lies behind Nono's music has never been more relavent.

	Diaries of a Contemporary Music Lover
		In 2001, after visiting the Archivio Luigi Nono, I told them about my obsession about Nono's Promoteus and they informed me that it would be performed in 2004 and in Cologne, and ironically, I was in Europe at the time so I couldn't miss it.
		In this respect, due to the unusual means of composition that Nono used and unusual explorations he was undertaking at the time, the experience become a tragedy in the sense of listening.
		Each Nono piece like this one, is not only music but something to show a new path, he is a wayfarer and as the title suggests "one should walk".

		But a visit to a merchant of Venice produced Luigi Nono for me, a man I had read about in relation to Schoenberg, Boulez, and Stockhausen but had never heard.
		If you have any interest in Nono after hearing this out-of-context excerpt in lo-fi audio, by all means pick up the CD it came from---in fact, it's an SACD, so it's really tite.
		Also, I suggest listening to Nono from time to time not on headphones but rather in the way that Brian Eno ended up hearing 18th-century harp music as described in the liner notes to Discreet Music.

	Luigi Nono (1924-1990)
		Nono is yet another important representative of European avant-garde music after World War II, who was from the first to move mainly to generalized serialism, using a lot of electronic means and working at the well-known studio of electronic music at Milan.
		Nono's objective was to popularize art more than usual and to help greater part of the popular audience to listen to it.
		Nono's output is particularly interesting - the opera "Intolleranza", cantatas for soloist, chorus and instruments, "The Terra and the Countryside", "The Land of Promise", Two Expressions for orchestra, Songs for 13 instruments, "Encounters" for 24 instruments.

		The tape constitutes a polyphonic sound texture into which the violinist must fit, interpreting the six sections of the score which are to be performed live.
		Nono stresses that this is not a concerto for a soloist with accompaniment, but rather a combination of voices with equal rights, as is suggested by the subtitle of the composition ("for several ‚wanderers‘ with Gidon Kremer").
		A continuous interaction evolves between sound direction and solo player: the sound engineer reacts to the player¹s performance by selecting from material found on the tape and by distributing this selection amongst the eight speakers.

		All works by Nono: ("A Carlo Scarpa" for large orchestra), ("A Pierre" for contrabass flute, contrabass clarinet and live electronics), ("Guia Al Gelidi Mostri" for electronically treated winds, voices and strings).
		The music plunges the listener into a whirl of intensity so panicked that the entry of the percussion finale is like the cutting of the Gordian knot: release and judgment in one.
		Nono's ballet Der rote Mantel on Garcia Lorca's Erotic Hallelujah is a bizarre kind of chamber play that seeks intensifications of Garcia Lorca's intangible, poetic images.

		Throughout his composing life Luigi Nono created enthralling soundscapes, pushing vocalists and instrumentalists to explore the new sonorities from the outer reaches of technical possibility, considering his creative work a direct expression of his socialist Utopian beliefs.
		Beginning with Nono's early work Polifonica-Monodia-Ritmica (1951) which is built from melodic modules taken from a ceremonial Brazilian song to the goddess of the sea, the programme presents works from Nono's entire composing career.
		Sarah Nicolls is the soloist in …sofferte onde serene… for piano and tape, and the sopranos and altos of the BBC Singers provide the choir for 'Ha venido', which Nono dedicated to the daughter from his marriage to Nuria Schoenberg.

		These recordings were made during a concert in the series Zeitfluss in 2001 in collaboration with the Salzburg Festival and with the support of the Ernst on Siemens music festival in Salzburg.
		In order to create the most authentic possible testimony to the performance practices of Nono's music, interpreters who had performed the work during Nono's lifetime were engaged for the recordings whenever possible.
		The period that has been discussed as marking a possible "turning point" within Luigi Nono’s oeuvre - beginning with the premiere of the string quartet Fragmente - Stille, An Diotima (1979/80) by the LaSalle Quartet in summer 1980 - is also that in which these two works were written.

		In den folgenden Werken machte Nono sich an die Erforschung subtiler Klangnuancen, inspiriert von der Klaviertechnik des befreundeten Pianisten Maurizio Pollini, der auch Widmungsträger einiger Werke dieser Schaffensperiode wurde.

		Nono was not only one of the most important composers of the second half of the 20th century; he was also the most illustrious “moral agitators” of that generation of musicians.
		By developing further his compositional technique of the 1950s, Nono expanded his serial structures and worked with “harmonic blocks” and their transformations (especially as from Canti di vita e d’amore, 1962).
		At this time Nono identified the most urgent task of his musical activity as that of revealing new worlds and new sonic landscapes, which would rupture the habits of listening that had developed in the increasingly mediatized musical culture.

	Schreck Performances: Luigi Nono - Ascolta
		Of all the great composers who determined the course of contemporary music after 1950, Luigi Nono was one of the two (Stockhausen being the other) that used electronics extensively in his works.
		This not only means that a majority of these works require live electronics or tapes during the performance, but that it also has become a determining factor.
		One of these later works is "A Pierre", in which the for Nono very typical mingling of past and present is achieved by means of the specified live- electronics and the audience is invited to listen to very delicate "shadow sounds".
