La Monte Young's piano tuning is an essential aspect of The Well-Tuned Piano. Young dates the piece as. The first thing that strikes the listener is the sound of the piano itself, a Bosendorfer that has been tuned in just intonation. The sounds of the notes themselves are fascinating and, to Western ears, exotic enough to compel attention one hears harmonies that sound strangely alien yet apropos. Young keeps the sustain pedal pressed almost throughout, the harmonics surrounding each chord like a cloud. The story of La Monte Youngs solo piano composition The Well-Tuned Piano feels infinite. Though he hasnt performed this massive piece in many years and he has never considered it finished, it is possible to quantify some moments on its timeline. After Young conceived The Well-Tuned Piano in 1964, a decade passed before he performed it in concert, and another 13 years went by before he released a commercial recording. The work itself, which hes played in public over 60 times, takes him up to six hours to execute on a piano that needs a minimum of a few weeks to be tuned and ideally rem. The Well-Tuned Piano, his title wryly limning Bach's klavier pieces in even temperament, is a watershed moment, shattering, transformative, nothing short of perfect. One of precious few works of art that genuinely creates its own language, TWTP trails mythologies in its long and turbulent wake. So it's either that or LimeWire. My suggestion: buy the 1987 DVD of the Well-Tuned Piano in The Magenta Lights 87 V 10 6:43:00 PM-87 V 11 1:07:45 AM NYC directly from the MELA Foundation. That version is markedly different, with added material and at over 6. 5 hours fills up all of 9-gig DVD. Lista de Títulos. The Well-Tuned Piano Part 1. The Well-Tuned Piano Part 2.

He contributed extensively to the study of just intonation and to the development of rational number based tuning systems that are used in his periodic composite sound waveform environments, as well as in many of his major performance works. Presentations of Young's work in the United States and Europe, as well as his theoretical writings, gradually influenced a group of composers to create a static, periodic music which became known as Minimalism.
