Other title Pierre Boulez on Edgard Varèse : 'Offrandes,' performance and analysis
Portion of title Offrandes
Abstract Pierre Boulez rehearses the 1920's composition "Offrandes" by Edgard Varese, and discusses the piece with music critic Michael Steinberg. The piece is then performed again. This is Part I of a two-part series using this technique and the music of Varese. Boulez' intention, as stated in his remarks, is to have the audience familiar with "the vocabulary" of the piece, and to close the gap between contemporary audiences and contemporary music. Varese, who was born in 1885, moved to America as a young man. He died in 1966. In the early days of the century Varese anticipated a great deal of what later. understood as "modern music."
