The "Variazoni canoniche" is one of the first Nono pieces written at Darmstadt. It is based on a twelve-tone row from Schonberg's Ode to Napoleon. This Ode is one of Schonberg's more political works, and as such obviously appealed to Nono, and because it is also a row that is less stringently atonal. There are some obvious tonal points in the row which Schonberg had exploited in the Ode and which Nono also exploits in this much more serial work. The piece caused a bit of a stir at Darmstadt, as Nono violated one of the sacred canons of serialism. He included octave doublings in several of the variations. Serialists believed that octave doublings would give too much weight to certain notes, thereby destroying "atonal equilibrium." Time has blunted this as an issue and what remains is a work that shows influences of Webern and Schonberg, but also shows a mastery of orchestral effect and an expressive style that is unique to Nono. This is a marvelous work of the post-war serialists, perhaps one of the most lyrical and pleasing.
The other two works on the disc date from the 1980's in what is considered Nono's "late" style. In the 80's Nono retreated from the overtly Marxist content of his middle period works like "comma una ola fuerza de lug", and began a series of elegaic works dedicated to artists and other well known people. Here we get a short work dedicated to Carlo Scarpa, an architects and a work for Andrei Tarkowsky, the great Russian film maker. Both of these works show a reduction in musical elements. The first concentrates on microtonal variations on just two tones, and the last varies just a few more notes. This music resembles nothing so much as the music of Giacinto Scelsi. Nono uses many similar procedures to the Italian, added resonance, tone color shifts, and microtonal glissandi, to create movement and interest in the work. But Nono shows more control and craft than the Count. His late works have a logic in development that the more intuitive Scelsi never seemed to possess. Interestingly, the effect is just as otherworldly and spiritual as Scelsi's work, strange from a man who was a life long Marxist and not religious at all.
