Talk:Ionisation (Varèse)

message: The quote from Finkelstein is not properly cited, and almost seems too long to include.  I don't have the recording citation.  Do people think it should be cut down, or cut out altogether?  DJRafe (talk) 06:03, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

message: hi from paris, i think it's not a celesta but a glockenspiel in the instrumentation.Littlejazzman (talk) 16:40, 7 September 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: You're right. It's shown in the score – in the instrumentation listing and at its first entry – as "Glockenspiel à clavier, with resonators" (though the part looks to me perfectly manageable for an ordinary glock. without keyboard); after its first entry it is shown simply as "glockenspiel".

thread_title:  celesta ? 

message: (from the lead): "One critic described the performance as "a sock in the jaw." 
The link doesn't name the "critic" either.
The New York Times Book Review, Volume 73, 1968, has "Henry Miller, in a famous passage, called the impact 'a sock in the jaw'.
In The Air-conditioned Nightmare, chapter "With Edgar Varèse in the Gobi Desert", Miller writes "I remember vividly the first time I heard Varèse's music" [...] My emotions had piled up to a crescendo whose impact came as a self-delivered sock in the jaw". Miller doesn't identify which piece he was listening to ("on a magnificent recording machine").
Is there any way to reference the "sock in the jaw" quote, Ionisation, and Miller, all in one package? ---Sluzzelin talk 04:26, 4 November 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Sock in the jaw 

message: The reference here is deficient.  The World's Encyclopaedia of Recorded Music (Clough and Cuming, 1952- ) alone gives pre-LP recordings of both Ionisation (US Columbia 4075M) and Octandre (New Music Quarterly Recordings 1411, and 3rd mvt only on UK Columbia DB1791), all from the 1930s. I have now added some info about these (there's at least one other recording of his music on 78s, post-war).

message: Does the score specify keyboard glockenspiel? I thought the part was playable on a mallet glockenspiel with resonator pedal. 74.101.251.49 (talk) 06:24, 21 January 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: The score I have (Confranc Music Publishing) specifies "Glockenspiel à clavier, with resonators" for player 11. Squandermania (talk) 16:51, 21 January 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: The keyboard glockenspiel seems correct. I looked at the score at IMSLP and it has "11. … Glockenspiel a clavier" (sic, no "à") and in English, "11. … Glockenspiel a clavier (with resonators)". I'm going to restore User:La musique's change. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 03:35, 22 January 2022 (UTC)
