Tracks 11, 12: In 1924 the Società Nazionale del Grammofono (La Voce del Padrone) released three records of Futurist works, one of which (R6919/20) was Corale and Serenata. Track 13: Recorded in 1931, this rare disc originally appeared on the Columbia label (DQ3661/CB 10663). Relatively little is known about Giuntini, who here accompanies Marinetti on improvised piano.

Track 16, 17: The two preludes (Assai calmo and Molto largo e drammatico) were published in 1923 and dedicated to the writer Alberto Carocci. The Synthetic Profile also dates from 1923, and was performed the following year on a tour of several Italian cities by Nuovo Teatro Futurista. Piano performance by Daniele Lombardi recorded in 1978.

Track 20: he composed this piece (for piano and four hands) for Fortunato Depero's I balli plastici (The Plastic Dances), performed in Rome in April 1918. In 1922/23 it was recorded by Casella in London as a piano roll (Duo Art D227), a copy of which was used by Antonio Latanza to make this recording. Track 21: Another historic recording by Marinetti, Parole in libertà dates from circa 1920. His concept of ‘free words’ rejected syntax and punctuation, and in printed form revolusionised typography. Track 22: Period jazz performed by Matty Malneck (1904-1981) and Frank Signorelli (1901-1975), Track 23: In October 1933 Marinetti launched his Manifesto Futurista della Radia, which offered radio as a ‘pure organism of radiophonic sensations.’ The original score comprises precise directions as to the sound sources required, and their relative length, some pieces making extensive use of silence. This performance by Daniele Lombardi was recorded in 1978. [Disc text] Made In England
