Taking inspiration from works on display by Modigliani, Heckel, Kirchener and Pechstein, this afternoon’s music programme explores the multiple ways in which composers and artists sought to re-define their media. Both art forms re-forged the abstraction, rhythmic and tonal complexities of pre-war work into non-musical sound and found objects, compound works more suited to a world torn apart by war.
Hanns Eisler Palmström (1923-34)
Kurt Schwitters Ur-Sonate (1922-32)
Edgar Varèse Octandre (1923)
Eric Satie, Trois Pièces Montées (1921)
