Lisboa: Cadernos de Hoje / A. Aragão, 1966. 12 pp. + 2 ff. trípticas desdobráveis (impressas frente e verso); 270 mm. This is a reprint of ”Music and Notation” by Jorge Peixinho (Montijo, 1940 - Lisbon, 1995), the most important Portuguese composer of the second half of the 20th century, pianist, essayist, and tireless promoter of contemporary music in Portugal. Peixinho studied composition in Lisbon and later in Italy with Luigi Nono and Bruno Maderna, and in Basel with Pierre Boulez, becoming the main intermediary between the European musical avant-garde and the Portuguese scene. In 1970 he founded the Lisbon Contemporary Music Group, which he directed until his death. His participation in the pictorial audition of January 7, 1965, at the Galeria Divulgação—the founding event of Portuguese total art of the 1960s, bringing together Aragão, Melo e Castro, Salette Tavares, and Manuel Batista—is the point of convergence between his trajectory and that of Portuguese experimental poetry. The separate publication ”Music and Notation, ” published as a supplement to the 2nd Anthology of Experimental Poetry (1966), is an essay on the foundations and cultural implications of contemporary musical notation, accompanied by musical notation examples illustrating the new graphic notation systems then under development. The examples include scores of unconventional graphic notation (Ex. 2 and Ex. 4, with circular staff), an excerpt from ”Diafonia-a”—a work commissioned by the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation for chamber ensemble—and a page from ”Antifona, ” for multiple ensembles. The scores are simultaneously musicological documents and visual objects of great plastic force, on the border between musical writing and visual poetry. An archival document of paramount importance for the history of contemporary Portuguese music and experimental poetry. Very rare. ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate
