Beschreibung:
<jats:p>After the completion of <jats:italic>Preghieie</jats:italic>—which had its first performance at the University of California, Berkeley, on 10 November 1962 during a festival of nine concerts entirely devoted to his music—Dallapiccola returned to and completed the score of <jats:italic>Three questions with two answers</jats:italic>, commissioned early in 1960 by the New Haven Symphony Orchestra. This request for an orchestral piece coincided with the beginning of work on the score of <jats:italic>Ulisse</jats:italic>, and the composer thought fit to utilize in the new piece the musical material he was going to exploit fully in the opera. It was, therefore, a sort of test, on a smaller instrumental scale, of the material which was to become the supporting and unifying element in Dallapiccola's magnum opus. <jats:italic>Three questions with two answers</jats:italic> was performed only once during his life, on 5 February 1963 in New Haven. Dallapiccola never thought it appropriate to publish what turned out to be his last orchestral piece; the score is now available (Milan: Edizioni Suvini Zerboni, n. 8155), and had its European première in London on 9 June 1977, performed by the BBC Symphony Orchestra conducted by Zóltan Pésko.</jats:p>
