In 1966, Cathy Berberian composed her first musical piece, Stripsody for solo voice. This innovative work explores the onomatopoeic sounds of comic strips, illustrated by Roberto Zamarin, and uses them to evoke a series of dynamic, engaging vignettes. Stripsody marked a bold departure in musical composition, representing a radically new approach in the experimental music scene of the 1960s. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0dNLAhL46xM

Music Score: A Waltz
J.J. Grandville (1840)
"Four men dressed up for the occasion invite ladies to a waltz and start dancing. One of the ladies trips while the other dancers keep whirling around.
The lady and her clumsy partner are soon back on the dance floor. Not far away, a seat collapses under the weight of three people. A lady’s knee is slightly injured.
A fly has managed to get in and a lady tries to drive it away with her handkerchief. Her partner offers a chair to help her recover.
The rhythm is now boisterous and dancers are whirling faster until they finally sit down to rest. A man wipes his forehead and a breathless woman leans on her elbow."
