For Tuesday (4/3) Your 12-tone composition is due today. Please follow the instructions on the grading sheet and have the sheet completely filled out.
Watch ALL of the three Cowell videos. The first is an early version of a prepared piano. The second is a score of a piano piece (not string piano) so you can see his unusual notation and the third is a video of someone playing the piece so you can see now that odd notation is performed. Watch TWO minutes of EACH of the Ussachevsky pieces. Answer the questions on your Tuesday Listening Journal page. It will begin on page 2 and continue onto page 3. Write something about all 5 pieces.
