The anti-fascist cantata Il canto sospeso, the string-quartet Fragmente - Stille, an Diotima and the 'Tragedy of Listening' Prometeo cemented Luigi Nono's place in music history. In this study, Nielinger-Vakil examines these three major works in the context of related works and the diverging circumstances in Italy and Germany after 1945.
