Pierre Boulez - Structures II (Audio + Score)

Pierre Boulez - Structures Livre 2, for two pianos (1956/61) Performed by Pierre Boulez and Yvonne Loriod Chapitre 1 - 0:00 Chapitre 2 - 8:53 Structures I (1952) and Structures II (1961) are two related works for two pianos, composed by the French composer Pierre Boulez. The first of the second book's two "chapters" was composed in 1956, but chapter 2 was not written until 1961. The second chapter includes three sets of variable elements, which are to be arranged to make a performing version. A partial premiere of book 2 was performed by the composer and Yvonne Loriod at the Wigmore Hall, London, in March 1957. This was Boulez's first appearance in the UK as a performer. The same performers gave the premiere of the complete second book, with two different versions of chapter 2, in a chamber-music concert of the Donaueschinger Musiktage on Saturday, 21 October 1961. The first version is used in this video.
