Pierre Schaeffer/Pierre Henry - Symphonie cascade un homme seul (1949-50)

This is my interpretation on images. Symphonie pour un homme seul (Symphony for One Man Alone) is a musical composition by Pierre Schaeffer and Pierre Henry, composed in 1949--1950. It is an important early example of musique concrète. The Symphonie was premiered at a concert on 18 March 1950.

The number of movements was reduced to 11 for a broadcast in 1951, and then to 12 for the revised 1966 version by Henry. The revised version was used for the Pierre Schaeffer -- L'oeuvre musicale recordings. Its movements are as follows: 1.Prospopée I 2.Partita 3.Valse 4.Erotic 5.Scherzo 6.Collectif 7.Prospopée II 8.Eroïca 9.Apostrophe 10.Intermezzo 11.Cadence 12.Strette Schaeffer started developing the idea of a "symphony of noises" (Symphonie de bruits) soon after he established his studio (Studio d'Essai) at RTF (now ORTF).

He later described the completed work as "an opera for blind people, a performance without argument, a poem made of noises, bursts of text, spoken or musical." In the 1952 work A la recherche d'une musique concrète he commented thus on the nature of the Symphonie: The lone man should find his symphony within himself, not only in conceiving the music in abstract, but in being his own instrument. A lone man possesses considerably more than the twelve notes of the pitched voice ...
