Page 15 BOULEZ: Yes, that would be a special case. Because, with Rituel, you have all the ideas at the very beginning, and, in principle, those ideas never change, although they are varied. DI PIETRO: Of course, you wrote Rituel in Memoriam[Bruno] Maderna, and, after his death, I noticed you conductedAuraand a few other works, but since then, I have not seen any performances or recordings of his works by you. BOULEZ: Well, you know Maderna's was a worse case than mine, as far as the fact that he was constantly conducting and there was not much time for him to compose.
DI PIETRO: John Scoville and I would like to ask a couple of questions concerning your roots. Stravinsky once remarked “that the ordinary musician's trouble in judging composers like Boulez is that he does not see their roots. ’” Did you indeed spring “full-grown,” as Stravinsky seems to have thought, and what has changed since he made these remarks so many years ago? Page 23 BOULEZ: First off, I don't think one just comes on the scene full-grown, as Stravinsky thought about me. A composer is like a tree or plant and develops progressively, but that does not mean that others see or know about a composer's development.
For me that is very necessary; before you get music in order, it has to be cared for. DI PIETRO: So has this been a stumbling block to your own presentation of his work? BOULEZ: Yes, because you always find these problems in the parts, for instance, and thus it becomes very difficult to become convinced to perform the work because it's one small thing after Page 16 another in rehearsal until it becomes problematic. That's very much a pity, because I would like very much to perform these works. Of course, Maderna knew his métier—that's not the question, not at all—but the works very much need someone to look at them patiently.
