Artikulation. Elektronische Musik. Eine Hörpartitur.

Beschreibung

First edition, first printing, number 164 of 200 copies signed and numbered by the composer. Ligeti's electronic composition premiered in 1958; he called it Artikulation because, in his own words, "an artificial language is articulated: question and answer, high and low voices, polyglot speaking and interruptions, impulsive outbreaks and humour, charring and whispering" (quoted on p. 7). The present publication is a "hörpartitur" ("aural score") of Ligeti's work by the graphic designer Rainer Wehinger, representing different sounds and effects with specific graphic symbols in an attempt to explain the work's musical relationships in visual form. Oblong folio. Illustrated throughout by Rainer Wehinger. Text in German and English. Original black cloth, orange paper label to front cover lettered in black, black endpapers, 7-inch vinyl inset to rear pastedown. With the original black cloth slipcase. Contemporary ownership inscription to half-title. Cloth a little rubbed, slight crease to front free endpaper, a few ink underlinings to text and pencil annotations to diagrams; slipcase rubbed and faded: a very good copy in very good slipcase.
