“Sequenza I per flauto solo” Luciano Berio Differences between the proportional notation edition and the traditional rhythmic edition and its implications for the interpreter
Abstract
This master thesis presents a comparison between the two versions of the piece
Sequenza I for solo flute, written by Luciano Berio. Finding two editions of a piece with so
different approach regarding the notation is not so common and understanding the process
behind their composition is really important for its interpretation. Because of that, this
thesis begins with the composer’s framework as well as the evolution of the piece
composition and continues with the differences between both scores. The comparison has
been done from a theoretical perspective, with the scores for reference as well as from an
interpretative point of view.
Finally, the author explains her own decisions and conclusions regarding the
interpretation of the piece, obtained from this investigation.
