Mauricio Kagel (1931–2008): Ludwig van (1970) with InterC (the contemporary music class at NMH)

For the celebrations of Beethoven's 200-year anniversary, Kagel produced a score like no other: close-up photographs of a room in which everything was plastered over with photocopies from Beethoven scores. The way in which to perform such a score entailed improvising with what is in the photographs, but Kagel himself performed it in ways that often deviated considerably, but always imaginatively, from his own instructions.

For this event in Oslo, three versions of the "piece" are presented: An imaginary composition based on music by Beethoven, an environment in which passers-by can improvise with the music that is all around them, and an installation in which Kagel's Ludwig van meets Cage's 4:33.
