This book was born from asking what the thought and work of Luigi Nono can tell us and contribute today. And it is based on the conviction that any approach to his figure inevitably forces us to think about how we understand the relationships between music (or art) and politics, a question that is both difficult and vital, since the question about the relationships between art and politics is implicit. life.

Nono did not stop wondering about the links between art, music and politics. The language or techniques used, the relationships established between the different agents involved, what role new technologies play, how to confront and commit to situations of injustice or violence that occur in the world in which we live, and how Contributing to change or even revolution, from his own artistic practice, are some of the questions that bothered him and to which he tried to respond through his work and his life without finding definitive answers.

At the moment in which we find ourselves, immersed in a very serious environmental, political and economic situation, Nono's vital and artistic commitment can help us ask ourselves today, with all its complexity, how we want to make and live art, music, in this world we live in.
