Extract

With these words, Pierre Boulez opened the article entitled ‘Sonate, que me veux-tu?’ in 1963. Referring to his Third Piano Sonata – portions of which first appeared in 1955 – Boulez presented his arguments supporting compositions that contain ‘open’ or ‘mobile’ forms. ‘Fluidity of form must integrate fluidity of vocabulary’, Boulez stated.
