Description

Fabien Lévy's De l'art d'induire en erreur is a 38-minute work for three amplified voices and orchestra based on texts by Antonin Artaud and Friedrich Nietzsche. The composer says: "It is a piece about creativity, about art and illusion, about divergent thinking and about the labyrinth of life." De l'art d'induire en erreur – The Art of Misdirection – was commissioned by the Bielefeld Philharmonic and Ultraschall Berlin; it was premiered by the Bielefeld Philharmonic on 15 September 2019 and given a second performance by the Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin at Ultraschall Berlin on 19 January 2020. The soloists were Truike van der Poel, Martin Nagy, Andreas Fischer, the conductor Johannes Kalitzke.


This new edition (EP 14392) is the conducting score of the work; the orchestral parts are available for hire.

More about this title

About the Composer: Fabien Lévy

Fabien Lévy is a Swiss composer whose work spans opera, orchestral music, and vocal-instrumental combinations.

Lévy has received commissions from major European institutions and his music has been performed at leading festivals including Ultraschall Berlin and Munich Biennale.

Why we love this

This is an ambitious, intellectually rigorous score that demands serious artistic engagement from conductors and musicians. The pairing of amplified vocal soloists with orchestra creates a fascinating sonic landscape, while the philosophical texts by Artaud and Nietzsche invite interpretive depth beyond the notes on the page.

What to expect

De l'art d'induire en erreur unfolds as a meditation on creativity and perception, moving between moments of lyrical vocal writing and dense orchestral textures. The work creates a labyrinthine soundworld where text and music intertwine to explore illusion, artistic intention, and the divergent paths thinking can take.

Who it's for

This score is designed for experienced professional orchestras and conductors with access to three skilled amplified vocal soloists. Programming this work requires a concert context that allows substantial time for a single, extended composition and an audience prepared for contemporary classical music with philosophical underpinnings.

How to get the most out of it

  • Study the balance between the three amplified voices and orchestra carefully in rehearsal; the amplification system itself becomes a compositional element, not merely a technical solution
  • Coordinate closely with the vocal soloists regarding interpretation of the Artaud and Nietzsche texts, as the music's dramatic arc depends on how the words are delivered
  • Use the premiere recording (Kalitzke conducting) as a reference point for navigating the work's 38-minute duration and overall pacing

How to use it

This work functions best as the centerpiece of a contemporary music concert or as part of a themed program exploring philosophical approaches to composition. Its 38-minute duration and intellectual weight suggest programming it alongside other substantial vocal-orchestral works or as a standalone feature with chamber works as surrounding pieces.

Skills your students will build

  • Reading complex contemporary orchestral notation and rhythmic figures
  • Balancing amplified vocal soloists with full orchestra
  • Interpreting philosophical texts as integral compositional material
  • Conducting extended forms that prioritize conceptual coherence over traditional structural patterns
