waves of inspiration

The Museum of Making Music and The Bob Moog Foundation announce Waves of Inspiration: The Legacy of Moog a special exhibition to run from August 29, 2009–April 30, 2010, at the Museum’s facilities in Carlsbad, California. The exhibit is the first of its kind, marking the first public display of the artifacts from The Bob Moog Foundation Archives.

Bob Moog (1934-2005) was a pioneer in the field of electronic music, developing the Moog synthesizer in 1964. His work made synthesis accessible to musicians and provided them with new realms of sonic expression. The instrument revolutionized the face of music and was used by such early synthesists as Wendy Carlos, Keith Emerson, Rick Wakeman, Stevie Wonder, Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock, Jan Hammer, and more.

Lost Mozart Piano Music Discovered

Two piano pieces have been identified as the work of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, experts in the Austrian city of Salzburg say.

The compositions have long been in the possession of the International Mozarteum Foundation in the city, the organisation said.

Few details are being released until an official presentation in a week’s time.

In January, a piece by Mozart which had lain undiscovered in a French library for years, had its first performance.

A spokeswoman for the Mozarteum Foundation said full details of the most recently identified works would only be made public on 2 August.

She said the music would be performed on Mozart’s original fortepiano.

Mozart left more than 600 known pieces of music before his death in 1791 at the age of 35.

He had begun composing at the age of five and his works include operas, chamber music, choral pieces and piano concertos.

The two-minute-long piece performed in public in January for the first time was played by violinist Daniel Cuiller before a small audience in Nantes, western France.

The sheet music had been found by staff at the city’s library, and authenticated as the work of Mozart in September 2008.
