    Antheil’s Ballet Mécanique on WWFM

    TRENTON MAKES, THE WORLD TAKES.

    Join me this afternoon to “enjoy” the most notorious work by Trenton’s own George Antheil.

    Antheil, the self-proclaimed “Bad Boy of Music,” was born in Trenton, NJ, in 1900. His machine music masterpiece, “Ballet mécanique,” for synchronized player pianos, siren, electric bells, xylophones and airplane propellers, caused a riot at its Paris premiere in 1926.

    Hear it today as part of a program of Labor Day classics, from 4 to 7 p.m. EDT, on WWFM – The Classical Network and wwfm.org.
