Dialogue for three voices
Tutto in una nota is a free conversation for three voices with one of the undisputed masters of minimalism, but also with a man who has always been committed to keeping the abstractness of musical language close to the real world of contemporary society and politics as its direct expression, therefore a dialogue that, although starting from the mathematical clarity of sound, could take unexpected paths and only apparently distant from the initial theme. A free conversation, as is in the ironic and anarchic spirit of Glass, a man not at all tied to the aristocratic fortress of contemporary cultured music, but always very attentive to the popular readability of his work. A whimsical conversation with unpredictable outcomes to understand live, outside of books, the true, profound difference between the academicism of the European 20th century and the free spirit of American minimalism.
