Your First Étude for Ulrich
Compose a study, 3–5 minutes in duration, that Ulrich might perform in our final performance-for-video project and post it on your portfolio website by class time next Tuesday.
Maiß’s Website (for feedback)
Brainstorm Three Concepts for Pieces
By class time next Tuesday, make one post on your portfolio website with 3 ideas for possible pieces you could create (alone or as part of a team) for Ulrich to perform. For each, provide a one-paragraph description of the concept explored, how the performance will be structured over time, what the audience will hear/see/experience. These will be prompts for Ulrich to give us feedback on opportunities or challenges raised by your ideas.
Compositions Discussed in Eco, The Open Work
- Stockhausen, Klavierstück XI for piano (see the score here; fuzzy—sorry)
- Berio, Sequenza I for flute (see an excerpt here)
- Pousseur, Scambi for tape (hear realizations of it here, and glance at the notes explaining how each performer realized the piece)
- Boulez, Third sonata for piano (see a performance here; note how the performer has to manipulate the pages of the score.)
