George Antheil Pořadí knih
Antheil byl avantgardní skladatel, klavírista, autor a vynálezce, jehož modernistické skladby zkoumaly raně dvacátokolekcí moderní zvuky – hudební, průmyslové i mechanické. Ačkoli se jeho styl stal po návratu do USA tónovějším a zaměřil se na filmovou a televizní tvorbu, Antheil byl neustále objevující se osobností. Jeho rozmanité zájmy zahrnovaly psaní článků, které předvídaly události jako druhá světová válka, autobiografii a detektivní román. Je také známý jako spolu-vynálezce systému pro navádění torpéd s využitím techniky frekvenčního přeskakování, která je základem moderní telekomunikace.

(Study Score). This publication for the first time presents the full score of George Antheil's Ballet mecanique as originally conceived. The work to prepare this edition was the result of a remarkable collaboration between a team of editors, musicologists, engravers and other musicians. With the original Pianola parts transcribed for MIDI by Paul Lehrmann (who also gave the premiere of this version and subsequently recorded it), Antheil's composition can finally be performed as he imagined it. Rental material, which includes all MIDI files for performance, can be obtained from the Schirmer Rental and Performance Department. www.schirmer.com
