About the book

"If music could lower the price of bread we wouldn't need it any more." This fascinating volume provides two sets of interviews with the renowned Italian composer, Luciano Berio who himself edited the transcripts for this edition. These two insightful interviews cover a broad range of topics: Balmonte asks about Berio's early life and development before going into a detailed examination of his major instrumental works of the 1960s -- the Sequenzas, Chemins and Sinfonia, followed by an examination of his involvement with electronic music in the 1970s. Varga discusses Berio's vocal and theatrical work, and the interaction of music, language and movement, moving on afterwards to discuss wider questions about the value and function of music. This edition also includes a short biography and a complete list of Berio's works as well as previously unpublished photographs and musical notations. - Back cover.
