  • Description

    Alfred Schnittke made a name for himself internationally in 1977 with the world premiere of his Concerto grosso No. 1. The composer's aesthetic is defined in this work, which blends serious and popular music, jazz and tango, where baroque accents coexist with micro-intervals, and in which heterogeneous elements and quotations are inserted or even pasted into the musical discourse. For Schnittke, this polystylism is a means of broadening his art's expressive possibilities, of overcoming the divisions and rigidity of specific schools, and a desire to question and modify the language and forms borrowed from the past.
