George Antheil, Ballet mècanique, part 1
Loading...
Uploaded by GreggaryPeccary on Nov 23, 2008
Scored for pianos, percussion, electric buzzers and airplane propellers. The best piece of a composer who gradually faded into obscurity. In Paris of the 1920s however, his concerts regulary incited huge scandals and riots. Performed here by the Ensemble Modern on the album "Fighting the Waves-The Music of George Antheil"

I stumbled upon his book, "Bad boy of music" - utterly AMAZING. From the precocious child in New Jersey to a young man blazing a path in a gray Berlin where poverty is so grinding middle class women are selling themselves on the streets. Then colorful Paris and a who's who of the Twenties - Stravinsky, Sate, Pound... Even learn it was he and Hedy Lamarr who came up with the invention of frequency-hopping spread-spectrum technique of radio transmission.
Check your library or buy copy and enjoy.

This is the first time I have heard this composition. I am really thrilled with it!
I wonder if Bernstein got some of his ideas for using percussion from Antheil....maybe I am wrong but I do sense some influence.
