Recordings[edit]

Should we list the best known recordings of this piece? Boulez/National France/Swingle, Rattle/CBSO etc... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Karljoos (talk • contribs) 12:13, 23 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Why not a list of all recordings? There can't be more than 10... —Preceding unsigned comment added by David Šenek (talk • contribs) 16:24, 23 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Work dedication[edit]

The last line of "Musical quotations" states "This might explain why he dedicated the work to the New York Philharmonic and Leonard Bernstein."

The piece was commissioned by the NYP for their 125th anniversary and dedicated to Leonard Bernstein. It even says this on the score, both the 1968 and 1972 publications. I think I read somewhere as to why he dedicated it to Bernstein, (maybe that can be added if someone finds it) but to say it was dedicated to the NYP and omit the fact that this was commissioned by the NYP is incorrect. Also, the reason why the quotations were chosen is because these were materials that he happened to have with him and also that were available in the library of Catania, Sicily, where he wrote the movement. (David Osmond-Smith, Playing on Words: a Guide to Luciano Berio's Sinfonia, p. 39, footnote 2) For that reason, to also infer that he chose the quotes based on what he saw on TV is incorrect conjecture and should be changed.B0cean (talk) 10:58, 25 April 2011 (UTC)b0cean[reply]
