Remembering the Future

In "Remembering the future" - which are the text of his Charles eliot Norton lectures 1993-1994 that are available for the first time - Luciano Berio shares with the reader some musical experiences that invite him to revise or suspend the relationship with the past and to rediscover it as a part of the future trajectory. Berio explores themes such as transcription and translation, poetics and analysis, open work and music theater. Also he ranges among topics such Schenkerian analysis, the criticism of Carl Dalhaus and Theodor Adorno and sometimes collaborators Italo Calvino and Umberto eco.
