Cinq études de bruits
Cinq études de bruits (Five Studies of Noises) is a collection of musical compositions by Pierre Schaeffer. The five études were composed in 1948 and are the earliest pieces of musique concrète, a form of electroacoustic music that utilises recorded sounds as a compositional resource.
The five études were composed at the studio Schaeffer established at RTF (now ORTF), Studio d'Essai. They are:[1]
- Étude aux chemins de fer - trains[2][3]
- Étude aux tourniquets - toy tops and percussion instruments[4]
- Étude violette - piano sounds recorded for Schaeffer by Boulez
- Étude noire - piano sounds recorded for Schaeffer by Boulez
- Étude pathétique - sauce pans, canal boats, singing, speech, harmonica, piano
The works were premiered via a broadcast on 5 October 1948, titled Concert de bruits.[5][6]
