Mauricio Kagel film

[Peter]

Has anyone heard of or seen the 1969 Mauricio Kagel film "Ludwig Van"? Apparently it consists of a room in which every surface is papered over with scraps from the complete works of Beethoven with several musicians wandering through the space, playing what catches their eye at any point. Sounds Bizarre!

Nor have I seen Mauricio Kagel's film "Ludwig van".

Though I understand that Kagel turned the film into a piece of sheet music itself which could be performed in a concert without the film.

One wonders doesn't one!

It does sound rather bizarre. There is a site that has his biography and just a hint of that movie

Doesn't talk much about it though.
