Die Unsichtbare front

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Ipke Starke's Die Unsichtbare front. The composer notes the following: The spatial installation of this work was designed and realized for the highest space in the building of the Technical Collections of the city of Dresden. This place just below the dome of the tower with its exceptional view of the city and the nearby radio tower is part of the work. The composition itself consists of 16 minutes of music on magnetic tape, constantly looped, spatialized and broadcast through the 7 loudspeakers configured in the space. The piece is based on modulations of extremely high frequencies, up to the limits of the audible, whose dynamic degree barely reaches the threshold of perception. What is significant vis-à-vis the content of the play is their interruption by documentary material: news in different languages, interviews, recordings of demonstrations, reports and documents from the archives, and synthetically generated or processed sounds of associative character. This confrontation of situational elements with documentary elements generates contradictory tensions in space.

[Binder's Collection: Columbus Public Library, Parts]

Bound compilation of parts to accompany the volume M218.C67. This collection's contents do not overlap entirely with those of main volume. The library catalog record follows the handwritten numbering in the main volume, which generally assigns numbers to titles held in common between the two volumes. Therefore, some works are described by their position relative to numbered items. The set of parts also has several short manuscript pieces added at the end; some parts are for both violin or flute, or for flute but playable on violin. The volume itself heavily emphasizes "potpourris" and other arrangements of larger works, such as those by Gaetano Donizetti and Vincenzo Bellini. Charles Auguste de Bériot is prominent in this volume as both a composer and arranger. About half of the works were published in Mayence (present-day Mainz) or Offenbach (surmised from other evidence in some cases), with Fils de B. Schott as the most prominent publisher.

[Binder's Collection: Columbus Public Library, Scores]

Bound compilation of sheet music for violin and piano, assembled by the Columbus Public Library (now the Columbus Metropolitan Library). This volume consists of scores and piano parts, although its contents do not overlap entirely with those of the accompanying set of violin parts. The library catalog record follows the handwritten numbering in the volume, which generally assigns numbers to titles held in common between the two volumes. Therefore, some works are described by their position relative to numbered items, such as a set of three between numbered selections 23 and 24. The volume itself heavily emphasizes "potpourris" and other arrangements of larger works, such as those by Gaetano Donizetti and Vincenzo Bellini. Charles Auguste de Bériot is prominent in this volume as both a composer and arranger. About half of the works were published in Mayence (present-day Mainz) or Offenbach (surmised from other evidence in some cases), with Fils de B. Schott as the most prominent publisher.
