Watch This Space | Schnittke x BRSO

In the organizer's words:

Alfred Schnittke was a pioneer of polystylistics. In other words, the compositional idea within New Music of combining different styles in one work. By layering, interweaving, alienating and breaking up traditional and modern elements, he further developed his musical language. In his Third String Quartet, for example, Schnittke weaves in passages from the three composers gathered around him on this Watch This Space evening: a cadential formula by Orlando di Lasso, the theme from Beethoven's Great Fugue and the motif frequently quoted by Shostakovich himself, which is based on the composer's initials: D-Es-C-H. In other words: a quote within a quote within a quote.
