Arthur Berger · Duo for Cello and Piano (1951) · Joel Krosnick, cello · Gilbert Kalish, piano
Arthur Berger’s Duo for Cello and Piano (1951), called “diatonic Webern” by Milton Babbitt, focuses on C major and shows a synthesis of traits from the Quartet for Winds: large melodic leaps, Baroque rhythm and counterpoint, and a dance-like lilt (found in the second movement of both works).

* The Sonata for Clarinet and Piano was among Poulenc’s final works and, like his Oboe Sonata, it dates from the summer of 1962. He dedicated the Clarinet Sonata to the memory of Arthur Honegger, a fellow member of “Les Six,” who had passed away in 1955. Instead of following classical German sonata form, Poulenc’s piece takes inspiration from the less rigid 18th-century French sonatas of Couperin and Rameau.

Pierre Boulez · Cummings ist der Dichter | für 16 Solostimmen oder gemischten Chor und Instrumente · Text: Edward Estlin Cummings, aus »Poems 1932 – 1954
LISTEN [extrait limité à 02:26]
Als Pierre Boulez sich 1952 in New York aufhielt, besuchte er zusammen mit John Cage eine Buchhandlung. Auf Boulez‘ Frage, welche interessanten Dichter es gäbe, zeigte Cage ihm einen Band mit Gedichten von Edward Estlin Cummings (1894–1962), der sich selbst »e. e. cummings« zu schreiben pflegte. »Ich bekam sofort«, so berichtet Boulez, »eine unmittelbare Beziehung zur Dichtung von Cummings« (…)
