Nono, Luigi (
b Venice, 1924;
d Venice, 1990). It. composer. Entered Venice Cons. 1941, studying comp. with
Malipiero (1943–5) and later with
Maderna and H.
Scherchen. Also studied law at Padua Univ., graduating 1946. Early works showed Webern's influence, later works became dominated by his commitment to Communist political and social causes and themes. What may be called the ‘protest’ element in his mus., expressed by heavy use of perc. and by use of pre-recorded tape, has not entirely obscured a characteristically Italian lyricism, such as may be found in his early works and in
Liebeslied. Prin. comps.:OPERAS:
