Item Details
Ionisation by Edgard Varese is considered one of the most historically important pieces ever written for percussion ensemble, and is most notable for being the first piece written for the genre. It has inspired generations of musicians, including eclectic art rock superstar Frank Zappa.
Written for mostly non-pitched instruments, this piece sounded like nothing else before it. Rhythmic cells create moments of groove that constantly shift as new sounds enter and old sounds fade away. Certain moments even sound frightening.
This edition includes Morris Goldenberg's original setup chart and diagrams as well as Nicolas Slonimsky's analysis of the piece.
