Wahrnehmung und Fragmentierung: Luigi Nonos Kompositionen zwischen "Al gran sole carico d'amore" und "Prometeo" - Kirchert, Kay-Uwe 1964- (Saarbrücken Pfau, 2006)
Based on a deep awareness of history, after "Al gran sole carico d'amore" Nono increasingly arrived at organic forms for his works, orientated towards metaphysical observations of the world. Alongside contemporary themes, a postmodern concept of art emerges that spans historical epochs in the independence of thought and, with the help of increasing fragmentation, creates a geometry of time that makes it possible to experience widely divergent periods of time in the present. He also arrived at new forms of expression in music theatre, leaving large-scale forms behind him. After "Al gran sole", Nono realised his scenes in solo or small ensemble casts. The three-layered nature of the musical text, consisting of music - language - phonetic semantics, serves him as an important creative means, which is expressed in his musical language, physical proximity to the instrument and in the vocalised instrumental work.
