Epoch: Since 1945 Country: France Pierre Boulez (born 1925) Detailed Information about Picture Gallery List of Works Bibliography Introduction (born Montbrison, 26 March 1925). He studied with Messiaen tradition of Leibowitz. The clash of the two influences lies behind such intense, disruptive works as his first two piano sonatas (1946, 1948) and Livre pour quatuor Le visage nuptial (1946) and Le soleil des eaux (1948), though through this highly charged style he was working towards an objective serial control of rhythm, loudness and tone colour that was achieved in the Structures for two pianos (1952). At this time he came to know Stockhausen , with whom he became a leader of the European avant garde, teaching at Darmstadt (1955-67) and elsewhere, and creating one of the key postwar works in his (1954). Once more to poems by Char, the work is for contralto with alto flute, viola, guitar and percussion: a typical ensemble of middle-range instruments with an emphasis on struck and plucked sounds. The filtering of Boulez's earlier manner through his 'tonal serialism' produces a work of feverish speed, unrest and elegance. Le marteau , but of these the Third Piano Sonata (1957) remains a fragment and Pli selon pli for soprano and orchestra (1962) has been repeatedly revised; only a second book of

26. Boulez, Pierre (1925 - ) boulez, pierre (1925 ) pierre boulez is among the most influential contemporary musicians, both as a composer and as a conductor. http://www.hnh.com/composer/boulez.htm

Boulez, Pierre (1925 - ) Pierre Boulez is among the most influential contemporary musicians, both as a composer and as a conductor. He is known principally for his extension of the techiques of serialism beyond the limits of the Second Viennese School of Schoenberg, under the strong influence of his teacher Messiaen, into a logical style that brings with it a paradoxical freedom. His career as a conductor has brought him engagements with the most famous orchestras in a relatively wide repertoire, from Rameau to Wagner and to the contemporary. Piano Music The music Boulez has written for piano includes three sonatas, the last involving an element of chance in the possible choices of order offered to performers. The first part of Structures I, for two pianos, was first performed by Messiaen with the composer in 1952 and Structures II by Yvonne Loriod and Boulez at Donaueschingen in 1961.

27. The PIERRE BOULEZ Project Experimental artist seeking donations of boulez recordings for All art of the past must be destroyed project. http://home.flash.net/~jronsen/boulez.html

The PIERRE BOULEZ Project a mail art / performance piece by Josh Ronsen French composer and conductor Pierre Boulez once wrote in a very famous Statement that " all art of the past must be destroyed. " Although Mr. Boulez has since established a lucrative and famous career in conducting art of the past, his own as well as pieces by Ravel, Handel, Stravinsky and others, and although he has unsuccessfully tried to qualify his Statement (in a 1972 article saying "All I meant was just to urge the public to grow up and once for all to cut the umbilical cord attaching it to the past"), we take great interest in his Statement and propose a project to fully align the Statement with Mr. Boulez. Henceforth, we are accepting donations of Mr. Boulez's work, recordings, books, scores, for a future performance in which we will destroy them. Destruction will not be limited to smashing, ripping, burning, crushing, kicking, in literal, physical and spiritual senses. All who donate a work will be graciously thanked in the program notes as well as here (unless a desire to remain anonymous is expressed), and all donators will receive the notes as well as auxiliary documentation (photographs, et cetera).

Pierre Boulez (b. 1925) Life Best Works Photo Gallery Home Page Pierre Boulez Life Pierre Boulez was born at Montbrison (26 March 1925). He studied with Messiaen at the Paris Conservatoire (1942-5) and privately with Andrée Vaurabourg and René Leibowitz, inheriting Messiaen's concern with rhythm, non-developing forms and extra-European music along with the Schönberg tradition of Leibowitz. The clash of the two influences lies behind such intense, disruptive works as his first two piano sonatas (1946, 1948) and Livre pour quatuor for string quartet (1949). The violence of his early music also suited that of René Char's poetry in the cantatas Le visage nuptial (1946) and Le soleil des eaux (1948), though through this highly charged style he was working towards an objective serial control of rhythm, loudness and tone colour that was achieved in the Structures for two pianos (1952). At this time he came to know Stockhausen , with whom he became a leader of the European avant garde, teaching at Darmstadt (1955-67) and elsewhere, and creating one of the key postwar works in his Le marteau sans maître (1954). Once more to poems by Char, the work is for contralto with alto flute, viola, guitar and percussion: a typical ensemble of middle-range instruments with an emphasis on struck and plucked sounds.

( 26 03 - 1925, Loire) In 1945 he graduated from the Paris conservatoire, where his main teacher, and the person credited with exerting profound influence on this technique and aesthetic, was Olivier Messiaen. pierre boulez made his first guest appearance with the Cleveland Orchestra during the March 11, and 13, 1965 http://www.orchestra-conductors.com/archives/000042.php

Orchestra Conductors providing resources for conductors... Main Boulez, Pierre (26 - 03 - 1925, Loire) Pierre Boulez made his first guest appearance with the Cleveland Orchestra during the March 11, and 13, 1965 concert season. It was at this time that his composition, Figures, Doubles, Prismes, received its first American performance. He has been music director of the New York Philharmonic (1971-1977) and chief conductor of the BBC Symphony Orchestra (1971-1975), while serving in Cleveland during the interim between the directorships of George Szell and Lorin Maazel. President Georges Pompidou of France subsequently offered Mr. Boulez the direction of a state-sponsored research institute in Paris, the Institut de Recherche et de Coodination Acoustique/Musique (IRCAM). The duties involved in this post and his work as a composer restricted his appearances as a conductor, but over the years has was able to devote time to important projects such as the 1976 centenary production of Wagner's four-opera Ring of the Nibelung cycle at Bayreuth, which he conducted for five seasons (and which was recorded for sound/video and television). In 1991, Boulez stepped down from his position as director of IRCAM to devote more time to composing and conducting. In addition to regular guest conducting in London, Paris, Vienna, Berlin, Chicago, and Cleveland, he helps oversee an annual musical season with the Ensemble Inter Contemporain (co-founded by him in 1975 and of which he serves as president), which he has led on a number of important tours (including the United States in 1986, 1991, and 1993).

39. The Ensemble Sospeso - Pierre Boulez Interview. http://www.sospeso.com/contents/articles/boulez_p1.html

pierre boulez in conversation with joshua cody Few would have imagined upon hearing the premiere of Pierre Boulez's 1956 work Foucault. "You see, there is a very strong parallelism between [our] two trajectories." Well, each generation has to solve its problems. I cannot solve the problems of a generation which is forty years younger than me, certainly not. I say always, every period is difficult. There is no easy period. You know, when you think of the fifties, you might think it was very easy, whereas it was not easy at all. There was always the question of whether this new discipline was not completely absurd; there were many questions. Certainly, when I look, for instance, only at Paris, I see that practically all the composers of my generation have disappeared. They made the wrong choices, or they were not courageous enough, or they were not lucid enough; there are many reasons. Or, perhaps they were politically involved, and that political involvement brought them to solutions which were very trivial; this type of thing. So, no, it was not easy! No period is really easy. Mondrian

40. Unreconstructed Modernist - 95.09 Atlantic Monthly article from September 1995 examines his staunch Modernism, tracing his path from composer to conductor and offering reasons for the changes. http://www.theatlantic.com/issues/95sep/boulez.htm

Music September 1995 Unreconstructed Modernist How does one account for the fall of Pierre Boulez the composer and the rise of Pierre Boulez the conductor? by David Schiff T HIRTY-FIVE years ago I bought a record that changed the way I thought about music: Pierre Boulez's , conducted by Robert Craft. Scored for the exotic ensemble of contralto voice, alto flute, viola, guitar, and percussion (including vibraphone, but prominently bongos), Le Marteau was remotely jazzy and vaguely oriental, rhythmically frantic yet emotionally cool. It was atonal, but without the angst of most of the atonal music I knew. Heard today, it might seem quintessentially fiftiesa vodka martini set to music, with instrumentation not far from what you would hear on a Chet Baker record or, with those bongos, a hi-fi demo. But at the time, I felt that I had been granted a vision of the musical future. I sat down and wrote a piece for flute, vibraphone, and bongos, to be played as fast as possible. My revelation was not unique. Le Marteau affected composers of several generations, who began to turn out flute-and-vibraphone music by the yard. Because the recording was conducted by Craft, it signaled a laying on of hands by Igor Stravinsky, who lavished praise on
