CARLO ALESSANDRO LANDINI (1954)
Orchestral Works
Landini is a man whose vast culture - so clearly evident in his own field of knowledge - also embraces mathematics, physics and physiology, subjects in which he seeks reasons for that sort of eternally repeated miracle that lies behind the joy of creating and listening to music [...]”. These studies led to the birth of Time On Target, whose meaning is best described by the program notes which accompanied the work’s performance: ‘contrasting musical episodes and attentive behaviour: the physiology of the effects that tension and relaxation, when appropriately controlled, have on listening to music and on the subjective evaluation of time’.
