Scores: Between 1950 and 1970:
Roman Haubenstock-Ramati, Mobile for Shakespeare

Mobile for Shakespeare/Sonnets 53 & 54 is one of many mobile pieces that Roman Haubenstock-Ramati composed. By structuring and notating his music in this form, Haubenstock-Ramati wrote scores that framed his music not in the form of a discrete piece, but as a progression of sound. When interpreting one of Haubenstock-Ramati's mobile scores, the musician is encouraged to meander through the notation in a fluid and not necessarily linear fashion.
