A lecture on the early electronic music of Luigi Nono by musicologist Veniero Rizzardi featuring a discussion of Nono’s “Découvrir la subversion: Hommage à Edmond Jabès” and other works. Nono (1924-1990) was a leading avant-garde composer in Europe during the 1950s and 60s. As his career progressed he avoided most normal concert genres in favor of opera and electronic music. Being a committed socialist, he also made frequent use of political texts in his pieces.
