Fabrizio Ottaviucci continues his journey on the Treatise of Cornelius Cardew: A 193- page graphic score created between 1963 and 1968 that stimulates the interpreter to conceive of new musical ideas and forms. He, as with all aleatoric music, is entrusted with the full responsibility for the effectiveness and meaning of the work. Ottaviucci has divided the 193 pages of the mammoth composition in six parts and after presenting the first (pages 1-19) last year-an execution defined by the press as “among the most memorable” of the festival-returns to REf19 with the second section (pages 20-40).
