... sofferte onde serene ...
... sofferte onde serene ... (Italian for "serene waves suffered" or "serene waves endured"), 42, is a composition for piano and tape by Italian composer Luigi Nono. The Archivio Luigi Nono uses the form ..... sofferte onde serene ..., derived from the cover of the manuscript. Composition Composed in 1976, this was one of the pieces Nono wrote for piano when he was involved in a professional collaboration with pianist Maurizio Pollini, which started in Como una ola de fuerza y luz. It is considered to be the first composition in his compositional career's new phase after finishing his second stage work Al gran sole carico d'amore, composed between 1972 and 1975, where he abandoned his use of contrapuntalism, heterogeneous materials and big contrasts that made Nono well known in the past. Nono wanted to integrate in it some personal elements of both himself and Pollini, specially the sorrow for the death of both their relatives and the sound world of Nono's home town Venice. The piece was finished in 1976 in Giudecca and was dedicated to both Maurizio and Marilisa Pollini, whereas the tape part was recorded at the Studio di fonologia della Rai, in Milan, with Pollini and
