Le Sfere (2). Par VARESE EDGARD. Gli scritti di Edgar Varèse, qui presentati in un'ampia raccolta di articoli, saggi, interviste, lettere, sono tutti percorsi da un'ardita idea di musica, dalla tensione intellettuale del musicista dominato dal bisogno, singolarmente estetico, di 'superare i limiti'. La raccolta, aperta da una rapida autobiografia, si estende dagli scritti della giovinezza fino al colloquio di poco prima della morte con Gunther Schuller, ancora e sempre pieno di illuminazioni verso il futuro./ Livre / Biographie

L?influence du saxophoniste John Coltrane ne se limite pas au cercle de musiciens qui ont eu la chance de le côtoyer ou de l?entendre, ni même à la constellation formée par ceux qui ont assimilé et prolongé ses découvertes jusqu?à nos jours. Son impact s?étend au-delà du jazz et de la musique elle-même, reflet d?une curiosité jamais assouvie plaçant sa vie comme son ?uvre sous le signe d?une seule et même quête.

Venant compléter la biographie de John Coltrane par Lewis Porter (dont l?édition française est parue dans la même collection), cet ensemble de textes est le fruit d?une rencontre entre des musiciens et chercheurs internationaux issus de différentes disciplines.

Cette diversité des angles de réflexion et des analyses apporte un éclairage nouveau sur les mécanismes intimes d?une création en perpétuel mouvement, où se télescopent le blues et la musique savante, l?Inde et l?Espagne. Elle permet aussi de dégager une cohérence, des lignes de force, et de découvrir l?unité primordiale qui se cache sous la rapide évolution stylistique du créateur de Blue Train, Giant Steps ou Ascension.
