This Interview with Nuria Schoenberg Nono about her husband Luigi „Gigi“ Nono was made on September 28, 2024 in Venice.
Nuria Schoenberg Nono, when did you meet Luigi Nono?
I’m very bad with dates, but this I remember exactly. It was 1954 in Hamburg. He came to the premiere of the opera Moses und Aron by my father, Arnold Schönberg.
How did he come up with the idea of going to Hamburg?
Gigi already knew my father’s music, and I think the conductor Hermann Scherchen gave him a ride. Since it was a premiere, three years after my father’s death, my mother also came from Los Angeles. Gigi was already well known in Germany at the time; a good ten of his works premiered there between 1950 and 1954.
