''Pli selon pli'' (''Fold by fold'') is a piece of classical music by the French composer Pierre Boulez. It is for solo soprano and orchestra, and is based on the poems of Stéphane Mallarmé. At over an hour, it is Boulez's longest work. ==Movements and poems== The composition is in five movements, each based on a poem by Mallarmé: #"Don" - based on "Don du poème" #"Improvisation I on Mallarmé" - based on the sonnet "Le vierge, le vivace et le bel aujourd'hui" #"Improvisation II on Mallarmé" - based on the sonnet "Une dentelle s'abolit" #"Improvisation III on Mallarmé" - based on the sonnet "A la nue accablante tu" #"Tombeau" - based on the poem of the same name The title is taken from another Mallarmé poem, "Remémoration d'amis belges", that is not used in the piece, in which the poet describes how a mist that covers the city of Bruges gradually disappears: :Comme furtive d'elle et visible je sens :Que se dévêt pli selon pli la pierre veuve :("As if by stealth and visible I sense :That fold by fold the widowed stone unrobes itself") "So, fold by fold, as the five movements develop, a portrait of Mallarmé is revealed," Boulez said. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pli selon pli」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
