PENSATO
Composed by Nikolay RUBANOV
Pensato
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In music, a pensato (Italian: "thought") is a composed imaginary note, a written note which is not played or heard.
Anton Webern is credited by some with the first use of pensatos, while others argue he did not use them at all. George Perle (1990), noting that, "no composer has ever been more concrete, explicit, detailed, and subtle in his notation," argues that if Webern did use a pensato, it would have been a pitch, "with all the attributes that give a note actuality: pitch, duration, mode of attack and release, timbre, intensity," and not a pitch class. He also points to a "verifiable pensato" in the last bar of Alban Berg's Lyric Suite.
