Borne of Nono's friendship and artistic collaboration with Maurizio Pollini, it was the first of Nono's works in what became his late style.
Composition
Nono wrote ... sofferte one serene ... for his friend Maurizio Pollini after their 1971–1972 collaboration in Como una ola de fuerza y luz. Nono used the sounds of his native Venice, notably its bell towers, which he heard from across the Venetian Lagoon at home on Giudecca. He finished it there in 1976, dedicating it to Pollini and Pollini's wife Marilisa.Williams 2013 32 Nono's music was affected by the "harsh wind of death", with recent losses including Bruno Maderna, Gian Francesco Malipiero, Nono's parents, and Marilisa's miscarriage.https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/journal-of-the-royal-musical-association/article/abs/possibilities-of-the-interval-heidegger-and-the-reimagining-of-the-interval-in-luigi-nonos-a-carlo-scarpa/72F88CC4F743E9A0CD67DE92FF4B26B6 Possibilities of the Interval: Heidegger and the Reimagining of the Interval in Luigi Nono's A Carlo Scarpa subscription June 1, 2024 John Barton Journal of the Royal Musical Association 2 147 10.1017/rma.2022.17 November 2022 313–336https://digital.lib.washington.edu/server/api/core/bitstreams/f00a9803-d6c6-4673-8890-1c5fa6cf4c12/content Music by Luigi Nono André Richard Joel Durand en February 25, 2014 June 1, 2024 University of Washington 4 https://web.archive.org/web/20240823222004/https://digital.lib.washington.edu/server/api/core/bitstreams/f00a9803-d6c6-4673-8890-1c5fa6cf4c12/content 23 August 2024
Nono extended the piano's sonority, emphasizing its pedal resonances via tape.Williams 2013 32 Pollini and sound technician Marino Zuccheri recorded this part at the it Studio di fonologia musicale di Radio Milano.
Pollini (live and taped piano), Zuccheri (sound technician), and Nono (sound supervisor) gave the premiere at the Milan Conservatory's Sala Verdi on 17 April 1977.
After Al gran sole carico d'amore (1972 and 1975), which was inspired by women's revolutionary struggle, ... sofferte onde serene ... marked a final introspective shift within Nono's overtly leftist fr œuvre. In the premiere's program note, Nono quoted Kafka on the "equilibrium of the profound interior". Nono's music became slower and quieter, with pitches often occupying a high register or tessitura. He became more concerned with spatiality, especially "floating sounds", and moved toward the use of fragments and silences in subsequent works. Heinz-Klaus Metzger observed these changes as an "intensification of [Nono's] identity."Williams 2013 32

Structure
... sofferte onde serene ... is a fourteen-minute movement in 155 bars. Tempo markings are very strict and tempo variations based on performance are rare. The original tape recorded by Nono, still used in concert performances, has a thirteen-minute-and-thirty-nine-second duration. Nono used as many as eight reference numbers in the score to keep the piano and the tape synchronized:
00:54 – Begin after three seconds
01:56 – Begin after three seconds
02:57 – Begin immediately
05:11 – Begin immediately
06:49 – Begin immediately
09:16 – Begin immediately
11:49 – Begin immediately
13:14 – Begin after two seconds
... sofferte onde serene ... calls for on-stage piano, a mixer and a sound engineer meant to be placed off-stage, and four loudspeakers: two on the piano and two on the bottom-left and bottom-right corner of the stage. The piece starts with the piano at a tempo of quarter = ca. 60. Nono marks further tempo changes in almost every bar.Nono Luigi ..... sofferte onde serene... per pianoforte e nastro magnetico 1977 Ricordi Milan http://catsearch.umpgclassical.com/en/operas/sofferte-onde-serene 2019-01-14 2019-01-14 https://web.archive.org/web/20190114153413/http://catsearch.umpgclassical.com/en/operas/sofferte-onde-serene dead He composed the live and taped piano parts to blend in uniform textures, distinct from his previous violent and contrasting style.
