Abstract
The Oriental Traveller and the Tonal Adventurer. New Information About Scelsi and Tosatti –
Studies and editions from the last ten years make it possible to see the genesis of Scelsi’s
works and his view of himself in a new light. As far as the writing of the music is concerned,
the central figure is Vieri Tosatti, who produced most of the scores. Once it became clear
that both the production of the tape recordings and that of the scores displayed a high degree
of sometimes autonomous constructivity, the question remains of how it was possible for
Tosatti, whose aesthetic views were very different from Scelsi’s, to produce such convincing
and innovative results. Scelsi’s autobiography, published in German in 2013, offers insight
not only into his life, but also his way of thinking. Of particular interest are his statements
about his musical training, his attitude to contemporary music, concern about his works, his
Christianity and the imaginary orient as a place of spiritual longing.
