„Edgard Varèse” változatai közötti eltérés

He spent the first few years in the [[United States]] meeting important contributors to American music, promoting his vision of new electronic music instruments, conducting orchestras, and founding the [[New Symphony Orchestra]]. It was also around this time that Varèse began work on his first composition in the United States,[[ Amériques]], which was finished in 1921. It was at the completion of this work that Varèse founded the [[International Composers]]' Guild, dedicated to the performances of new compositions of both American and European composers, for which he composed many of his pieces for orchestral instruments and voices, specifically Offrandes in 1922, Hyperprism in 1923, Octandre in 1924, and Intégrales in 1925.

 

Varèse wrote his Ecuatorial for two fingerboard [[Theremins]], bass singer, winds and percussion in the early 1930s. It was premiered on April 15, 1934, under the baton of [[Nicolas Slonimsky]]. Then Varèse left New York City, where he had lived since 1915, and moved to Santa Fe, San Francisco and Los Angeles. By the time Varèse returned in late 1938, Leon Theremin had returned to Russia. This devastated Varèse, who had hoped to work with Theremin on a refinement of his instrument. Varèse had also promoted the theremin in his Western travels, and demonstrated one at a lecture at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque on November 12, 1936. [[The University of New Mexico]] has an RCA theremin, which may be the same instrument.
