Costin Miereanu’s Contribution to Musique en jeu
Costin Miereanu’s Contribution to Musique en jeu

Summary/Abstract: During a very short career in Romania (aprox. 1965-1968), followed by permanent emigration in France, Costin Miereanu pled fervently for synchronizing with the universal models in his compositions and musicological writings. Miereanu kept on being an important representative of the avant-garde musicology and musical philosophy and one of the ways of doing that was by contributing with vast articles to an innovative project, which was created in Paris, in 1970. Musique en jeu was a journal which, over its nine years of existence with four annual issues (on average) of nearly 120 pages each, has captured all aspects of contemporary music, presented in an ample philosophical, aesthetic, academic, political and institutional context. Among the authors that have contributed articles to Musique en jeu there were Jean-Jacques Nattiez, Karlheinz Stockhausen, Dominique Jameux (Musique en jeu’s initiator and main animator) and also Costin Miereanu. I will present his contribution in four editions spanning 1973-1978, which tackled novel ideas (such as graphic scores – no. 13 – or the electronic music scores) or older subjects viewed from new perspectives (dramatic and scenographic renewal of opera – no. 22).
