Berio - Sequenza Vii - Hautbois

Description

My "Sequenzas" for monodic instruments (flute, trombone, oboe, clarinette, trumpet, bassoon) call for a polyphonic listening, partly based on a fast transition between different characters and on their simultaneous interaction.In "Sequenza VII" for oboe I carry on the research of a latent polyphony putting into perspective the complex sound structures of the instrument with an ever-present "tonic": a B natural that can be played pianissimo by any other instrument, behind the stage or in the audience.It is a harmonic perspective that contributes to a subtler analytic insight of the various stages of transformation of the solo part.

"Sequenza VII" was written in 1969 for Heinz Holliger.(L.Berio)Niveau : difficile
