Perspectives on Sylvano Bussotti

"Perspectives on Sylvano Bussotti" is a comprehensive academic book that explores the work of the Italian composer Sylvano Bussotti. Bussotti's music is described as radical and avant-garde, while simultaneously embodying a profound aesthetic and sensuality that is not easily reconciled with the avant-garde movements of the 20th century. This book offers a multi-layered analysis of his works and sheds light on cultural issues related to identity and authorship, gender topics, and non-normative sexuality. Additionally, it examines historical and political contexts, as well as aspects of notation and practical performance. Through the analysis of new archival materials, the study of scores, and the reconstruction of performances, it provides deep insights into Bussotti's creative processes and aesthetic approaches, highlighting his significance in the discourses of modernity and postmodernity.
