Description
Guus Feist of Radio Nederland talks with the American avant-garde composer Earle Brown, who in February 1974 began a six week series of lectures and workshops sponsored by the Rotterdam Conservatory of Music. Brown describes his lectures which were about the interplay between modern music, visual art, and literature, as well as his workshops, in which he taught about improvisational techniques, varying forms of musical notation, and the incorporation of multimedia elements into musical compositions. The interview is followed by a performance of “Modules 1-2” by Earle Brown, and played by the Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Edo de Waart and the composer.Genres
