Varèse, Edgar. (1883-1965).. Intégrales - SIGNED. New York: Ricordi. 1956. Study Score. Printed wrapper, title page, instrumentation and percussion diagram, pp. 1-47. [PN] N.Y. 2204. 7 x 10.5 inches. Signed on cover in blue ink "Varese." In fine condition.
A later edition of one of Varèse's most famous works, from the library of noted American composer and theorist George Perle (1915 - 2009), and with his occasional minor pencil marginalia.
Scored for woodwinds, brass, and 17 different percussion instruments played by four percussionists, Varèse completed Intégrales in 1925. Varèse's term "spatial music" was first applied to this work, which broadly denotes a concept that pertains to all of his surviving output, namely his method of depicting music as a collection of coexisting sound properties (melody, harmony, rhythm, etc.) the durations of which drift closer and further apart while appearing and reappearing in variations of themselves. Leopold Stokowski conducted the premiere on March 1, 1925 to an enthusiastic crowdthe Aeolian Hall in New York. Though widely panned and misunderstood by critics, the first audience enjoyed the work so much that Stokowski was obliged to perform it again that evening!
Signed scores by Varèse are very uncommon.
