  1. Eridanos by Iannis Xenakis: An Analytical Approach. Eridanos (1972) for orchestra was composed after a period of intense theoretical concerns which culminated in the publication of the first English edition of Formalized Music (1971). If at the beginning of 1970s Xenakis' compositional methods were influenced by his new proposals in microsound structure, in Eridanos, the composer sought new theoretical grounds. From the notes to the score we know t. 2011. Gibson, Benoît. http://hdl.handle.net/10174/8830.
