Yannis Christou greek (1926-1970)
"Although he was only 44 when he died, he is regarded as one of the leading composers of his generation. He was controversial, highly talented, and he is to this day greatly respected in contemporary music circles, both in Greece and abroad. However, current performances of his music are extremely rare and he remains a “great stranger” for the wider public."

A: 1st Song, from the portfolio "Letter and Indices to 24 Songs".
Hanne Darboven’s (German,1941–2009) work's premised on accumulation, permutation, and infinitude. The artist often visualized both time and music with numbers. She developed a system for representing information in graphic form, which she called "mathematical prose." This work consists of a four-page letter to the artist Sol LeWitt, and the indices to six of the songs that make up her composition 24 Gesänge. According to Darboven’s letter, "Each song is dedicated to a letter of the alphabet, a through x, and each is composed in three parts (I, II, III) and two forms (‘A’ and ‘B’). A form uses numbers 1–61 and B form uses numbers 1–10." These notations are joined by one signature motifs: "u," the German equivalent of an ampersand. When displayed, the pages proceed from top to bottom and then from left to right. /visual-poetry

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."
