Aesthetic Experience in New Music

Lecture at the St. Gellert Festival on the 28th September 2017 in Szeged (Hungary) In this lecture I present the “Theory of Aesthetic Eigenvalues“ (beauty, sublimity, event and ambivalence) in relation to music examples and paintings. In particulare I will talk about: - Karlheinz Stockhausen: Kreuzspiel (1951) - Franz Kline: Black and White No. 2 (1960) - György Ligeti: Atmosphères (1961) - Barnett Newman: Vir Heroicus Sublimis (1950/51) - Caspar David Friedrich: The Monk by the Sea (1808–1810) - Georges Braque: Violin and Jug (1910) - Helmut Lachenmann: Gran Torso (1971) Website: Facebook: Twitter:
