Terry Riley wrote his minimal music piece "In C" in 1964 in contrast to the elitist business of (new) classical music. "In C" can be performed by any number of musicians with any number of instruments; the playing instructions give the musicians a great deal of autonomy in the realization. "In C" sounds unique every time and cannot be repeated. You have to have been there! The Brecht Festival opens with this pioneering piece of the democratization of serious music, interpreted by numerous musicians from Augsburg and the surrounding area.

Terry Riley, 1964 yılında bestelediği minimal müzik eseri "In C ",(yeni) klasik müziğin elitist dünyasından ayrışımı ortaya koymakta . "In C" herhangi bir sayıda enstrümanla herhangi bir sayıda müzisyen tarafından icra edilebilir; çalma talimatları müzisyenlere parçayı gerçekleştirmede büyük ölçüde özerklik verir. Eser her icra edilişinde seferinde benzersiz sesler olustruduğundan tekrarlanamazlığını da ortaya koyar. Bu bağlamda orada olmalısınız!
Brecht Festivali, Augsburg ve çevresinden çok sayıda müzisyen tarafından yorumlanan bu etkinlikle müziğin demokratikleşmeye öncülğk ediyor.
