OverviewLIVING UR SONATA reveals the transcendent truth of Kurt Schwitters' 1920s epic of nonsense. The Nazis burned Ur Sonata and mocked Schwitters' visionary art as degenerate. Today widely performed, Ur Sonata inspires us to reject nationalism and overcome language barriers to embrace our common humanity. With urgency and humor, Andrew Laties brings tales of Kurt Schwitters' dramatic life into resonance with stories of Laties' own forty years performing, encouraging readers to seize the hour and sing along with Ur Sonata. Includes full text of Ur Sonata.

Table of ContentsReviews"""When he came to our house, Andy espied a monograph on Kurt Schwitters and spontaneously embarked on a performance of the Ur Sonata. I was entranced as was our dog, who clearly connected to the intermittent baying. Andy has made this extraordinary piece central to his repertoire, and this memoir recounts vividly his joURney with it, while offering a rich and insightful account of Schwitters' own. The reader will embrace and improvise on the marvelous array of phonetic murmurations and be the better for it."" -H. Nichols B.
