Through a close reading of the sources preserved at the Egisto Macchi Collection at the Institute of Music, Fondazione Giorgio Cini, (Venice) and at the<br \/>\nJoseph Losey Collection at the British Film Institute (London), the book sheds light on the early collaboration between Losey and Macchi, which continued over the following years for the film Mr. Klein (1976). Why did Losey choose this apparently unknown composer? How did an avant-garde<br \/>\ncomposer approach the film industry? What kind of audio-visual experience did Macchi and Losey explore through this film? To answer these questions, the volume deals with various aspects of the creative process, combining letters, notes, drafts, sketches and the final orchestral scores.<br \/>\nThe introductory essay presents Egisto Macchi within the context of the Roman avant-garde and the cinematic environments of the \u201960s and early \u201970s. The volume is complemented by a wide selection of sources reproduced as facsimiles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Egisto Macchi: The Assassination of Trotsky Sources of the Creative Process Series: The Composer\u2019s Workshop, vol. 2 by Marco Cosci Brepols Publishers, Turnau &nbsp; This volume traces Egisto Macchi\u2019s creative process for the soundtrack of The Assassination of Trotsky directed by Joseph Losey (1972).
