[Futurism] Pratella, F. B. [Boccioni, Umberto. (1882 - 1916)]. Musica futurista per orchestra. Op. 30. Riduzione per pianoforte.. Bologna: Bongiovanni. 1912. XXVII, 80 S. 4°. Ill. First edition with the three-part header "Il manifesto dei musicisti futuristi," "Il manifesto tecnico della musica futurista“ and "La distruzione 27 della quadratura." The title illustration created the Italian Painter, graphic artist and sculptor Umberto Boccioni (1882-1916), who brought out the first manifesto of futurism in 1909 together with Russolo, Balla, Severini, Carrà. Apart from a slightly bent corner, this copy is in remarkably fresh condition. Rare.
The notoriety of this book is due mostly to the cover illustration, which features a striking drawing by Umberto Boccioni. Actually, the book itself was the score for Pratella's Concert #30, titled "Inno alla Vita. Musica futurista per orchestra" (Hymn to Life. Futurist Music for Orchestra) that was later performed in Rome on a tumultuous Futurist evening. Pratella's theoretical contribution to the reinterpretation of musical composition followed Marinetti's aim to intervene in every creative field. The author meant to introduce the "order of disorder" in music by the use of rhythmic irregularity. Today, this composer is known much more for his later works, which are imbued with a lyrical quality.
