Michèle Bokanowski - Pour Un Pianiste

Premiere: May 28, 1974, 4th International Festival of Experimental Music, House of Culture (Bourges, Cher, France) “This piece was commissioned by Gerard Fremy. I first wrote the score of different themes, motifs and rhythmic cells. Played piano and prepared piano by Gerard Fremy, they provided me the material that made me realize the magnetic strip. With the exception of cluster harpsichord which opens the piece, all the sounds used are from the piano. There is another version of this work, only for the concert, in which a live piano score is superimposed on the tape. For a pianist, is dedicated to Gerard Fremy. “ - Michèle Bokanowski Electroacoustic music performed in the composer’s studio and the studios in Bourges.
