Programme notes »
Ana-Maria Avram (1961-) -- Musique pour Mallarmé (1985) 12min
Ana-Maria Avram (born Romania, 1961), a leading figure of European avant-garde classical music, was educated in Romania and France; building on the ideas of spectralism, she has characterized her music as acousmatic, heterophonic, transformational. In Musique pour Mallarmé the audience’s attention is drawn to the piano’s string- and percussive nature. Unusual and fascinating sound effects are achieved without the use of any preparation or electronics.
