“Il canto sospeso” di Luigi Nono: un percorso didattico

This article proposes a series of music education activities centring on Luigi Nono’s Il canto sospeso, one of the most significant compositions of the 20th century. It looks at the work within the historical context that saw its creation, suggesting an interpretation of it which relies not so much on the score as on specific references to listening, and in which musical observation goes hand in hand with methodological-didactic suggestions. This approach also contains inter-disciplinary options and can be expanded to include other musical genres. It is addressed to secondary schools, both at the junior and higher levels.
