I estimate that I read this bk in the fall of 1976. I must've read it before the spring of 1978 b/c by then I knew who Nyman was & eagerly attended a concert of his in London during that time. Alas, I found the concert quite boring - it was bland 'new tonality' minimalism. Oh well.. Nonetheless, this bk was the most important bk I'd read on the subject at the time & I was very inspired by it. It still sticks w/ me the way formative experiences do.
En 1993 la música de El Piano dio a conocer mundialmente a un Michael Nyman que, aunque ya llevaba años trabajando en la industria como compositor, incluso para grandes directores como Peter Greenaway, consiguió ser consagrado con esta obra maestra que le valió el multiplatino en música clásica, siendo además uno de los compositores con más resonancia mediática de la última década del siglo pasado por la simplicidad de sus obras.

Y es que si algo caracteriza a este compositor es show more que es capaz de encontrar la infalible melodía que se repetirá en casi todas las canciones que componen la música de sus films. Una melodía que se convierte en elemento clave para el acompañamiento del metraje y que sabe transmitir no sólo la esencia de cada escena en la que puede escucharse, sino que entona un himno global que hace reconocible la película, por muchos años que hayan pasado desde su estreno. show less
