about his music
The Past as Future: Luciano Berio
In the aftermath of the Second World War, many composers of Luciano Berio’s generationfelt obliged to wipe the slate clean. To a composer with roots as deep in the achievementsof the past four centuries as Berio, this was never an option. His work constantly re-inventedcontinuities where others saw only the possibilities of rupture. Not that he was ever temptedby the assorted nostalgias that haunted some part of the music of the last century. On thecontrary, he maintained an insatiable curiosity about the explorations of his contemporaries– musical or otherwise. But his dialogues with literature, with linguistics, with structuralanthropology, with ethnomusicology always proved to be the most inventive of piratical raids– seizing the materials that he needed as a musician, and drawing from them creativeconsequences often far removed from their original context. They are a fraternal “homage”, notan imitation. Beyond his apprentice years of the late forties and early fifties, much the samemight be said of his response to his musical contemporaries. His oblique relationship to thepost-Webernian mainstream was the first instance of a trait that has remained central to hiswork ever since. Seizing with relish upon its demonstrations of inexhaustible metamorphicpotential, he expanded this into a basic principle: you may always re-write what is alreadywritten. The exuberant melodic confidence of his work from the late fifties and sixties – whether thenervous brilliance of the flute Sequenza I, or the by now classic lyrical intensity of workswritten for Cathy Berberian, such as Circles or Sequenza III – bears witness to the confidentauthority with which he grasped these means. Equally, the series of Chemins that revisit soloSequenzas demonstrate not just a Joycean “work in progress”, but our obligation to treat eachcompleted work as a “listening in progress”. But the sixties also saw the first indices of anunwillingness to side-line issues central to his rigorous sense of musical tradition. Where somecontemporaries seemed content to treat harmony as simply a subcategory of “texture”, Berioinsistently returned to the harmonic dimension as central to his larger musical aspirations.Training his own and his listeners’ ears to find their way through the harmonic jungle was atfirst a matter of brilliantly alert intuition – in, for instance, Sequenza IV for piano – but wassoon absorbed into a focussed framework, first in O King, but then in many subsequent worksof the early seventies, by exploring the consequences of harmonic projections from a line. Thefruits of this patient process of exploration came in the major works of the eighties andnineties, where harmony resumed its rights as the organising force behind such major theatreworks as La vera storia, Un re in ascolto, and Outis, but could equally determine the masterlyconcision of Sequenza XIII for accordion. Although Berio drew admiration in the late fifties as an exuberant explorer of electronicresources, his vivid empathy for the risks and rewards of live performance tended to gain the

about his music
upper hand over any disembodied search for “new sounds”. However fragile and temporary thecommunity created in the concert-hall by a brilliant performance, it is one that Berio servedwith singular fixity of purpose. Since the sixties a vigorous inhabitant of McLuhan’s “globalvillage” (of which any concert-hall or radio station may propose itself as a temporarymicrocosm) he asserted music’s obligation not only to its own singular history, but also to there-statement of human concerns that, without such patient and committed reiteration, couldso easily evaporate. His is a music that “refuses to forget”.

Il passato come futuro: Luciano Berio
Dopo la Seconda Guerra Mondiale molti compositori della generazione di Luciano Berio sisentirono obbligati a ricominciare daccapo. Un compositore come Berio però, le cui radiciancoravano profondamente nelle conquiste di quattro secoli, non prese mai in considerazionequesta opzione. La sua opera re-inventò costantemente delle continuità laddove altri vedevanocome unica alternativa la rottura. Non che fosse mai stato attratto da quelle nostalgie aleggiantiin alcune musiche del secolo scorso. Al contrario, mantenne una curiosità insaziabile verso leesperienze di ricerca dei suoi contemporanei – musicisti ed altri. Ma i suoi dialoghi con laletteratura, la linguistica, l’antropologia strutturale, la musicologia etnica si sono sempredimostrati i più ingegnosi raid corsari: egli acquisì i materiali di cui aveva bisogno come musicista,per trarne delle conseguenze creative, spesso molto distanti dal contesto originale. Sono unomaggio fraterno, non un’imitazione. Al di là del periodo di apprendistato tra la fine degli anni’40 e l’inizio dei ‘50, si può affermare praticamente lo stesso a proposito della sua interazione coni suoi contemporanei musicali. La relazione non sempre diretta con la corrente di pensieropostweberniana fu il primo dei tratti che da allora caratterizzarono la sua opera. Impossesandosicon gusto dell’immenso potenziale metamorfico di tale pensiero, Berio lo trasofrmò in unprincipio di base: è sempre possibile ri-scrivere ciò che è già scritto. L'esuberante sicurezza melodica delle sue opere degli ultimi anni ’50 e ’60 – sia la brillantezzanervosa della Sequenza I per flauto, sia l'ormai classica intensità lirica dei brani scritti per CathyBerberian, tra cui Circles o Sequenza III – testimonia l’autorevolezza con cui Berio ricorreva aquesti mezzi. La serie dei Chemins, rivisitazioni delle Sequenze per strumento solo, non soltanto sidimostra un “work in progress” nel senso joyceano, ma ci obbliga anche a considerare ogni operacompiuta come un “listening in progress”. Gli anni ’60 vedevano però anche i primi indizi dellavolontà di non trascurare istanze centrali del proprio senso rigoroso della tradizione musicale.Mentre alcuni contemporanei sembravano accontentarsi trattando l’armonia semplicementecome una categoria subordinata di “texture", Berio non smise mai di tornare con insistenza alladimensione armonica come fulcro delle sue aspirazioni musicali più ampie. L’allenamento delproprio udito e di quello dei suoi ascoltatori, così da trovare un percorso attraverso la giunglaarmonica, fu inizialmente un aspetto dell’accortissima intuizione beriana – per esempio nellaSequenza IV per pianoforte. Presto però quest’intuizione divenne parte di una concezione messabene a fuoco, prima in O King, poi in tante opere dei primi anni ‘70, nelle quali esplorò le

about his music
conseguenze delle proiezioni armoniche partendo da una linea di suoni. I frutti di questo pazienteprocesso d’esplorazione si poterono cogliere nelle opere principali degli anni ‘80 e ‘90, dovel'armonia reclamava i propri diritti quale forza organizzativa dietro opere teatrali così importanticome La vera storia, Un re in ascolto e Outis, ma determinava ugualmente anche la magistraleconcisione della Sequenza XIII per fisarmonica. Malgrado Berio fosse apprezzato nei tardi anni ’50 come esuberante esploratore di risorseelettroniche, la sua vivace empatia per i rischi e le ricompense dell’esecuzione dal vivo ebbetendenzialmente la meglio su qualsiasi ricerca astratta di “nuovi suoni”. Per quanto fragile etemporanea sia la comunità che si crea in una sala da concerto in occasione di una brillanteesecuzione, Berio si dedico ad essa con singolare determinazione. Abitante convinto, sin dagli anni’60, del “global village” mcluhaniano (nel quale un auditorio o una stazione radiofonicapotrebbero proporsi come una sorta di microcosmo temporaneo), egli ha affermato l’impegnodella musica nei riguardi non solo di se stessa e della sua storia particolare, ma anche nel ribadiretutto ciò che concerne l’umanità che, in mancanza di una simile reiterazione, paziente e dedita,potrebbe facilmente dileguare. La sua è una musica che “si rifiuta di dimenticare”.

Die Vergangenheit als Zukunft: Luciano Berio
Nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg fühlten sich viele Komponisten dem Ruf nach einer tabula rasaverpflichtet. Ein Komponist wie Luciano Berio, dessen Wurzeln so tief in den Errungenschaftenvon vier Jahrhunderten verankert waren, zog so etwas nie in Erwägung. Sein Werk hatteständig Anknüpfungspunkte ge- und erfunden, wo andere nur die Alternative eines Bruchssahen. Das bedeutet aber nicht, dass er jemals von der Nostalgie befallen wurde, die in vielenKompositionen des vegangenen Jahrhunderts spürbar ist. Ganz im Gegenteil hatte er sichstets eine unstillbare Neugier auf die Erkundungen seiner Zeitgenossen bewahrt – sowohlauf die musikalischen wie auch auf andere. Aber seine Dialoge mit Literatur, Linguistik,Musikethnologie oder Anthropologie hatten sich immer als höchst schöpferische Feldzügeerwiesen. Er eignete sich das Material an, das ihn als Musiker faszinierte, um daraus kreativeKonsequenzen zu ziehen, die oft weit entfernt vom originalen Kontext waren. Das isteine kollegiale ‚Hommage‘, keine Imitation. Einmal von seinen Lehrjahren in den späten40er und frühen 50er Jahren abgesehen, konnte man Ähnliches über die Reaktion auf seinemusikalischen Zeitgenossen konstatieren. Schon damals zeigte sich in seiner postwebernschenGesinnung eine Eigenheit, die seither für sein OEuvre bezeichnend geblieben war. Ausder anfänglichen Faszination über das grenzenlose metamorphische Potential schälte sichallmählich Berios Grundsatz heraus: Man kann schon Geschaffenes immer wiedernachschöpfen.Die melodische Ausstrahlung seiner Werke der 50er und 60er Jahre – sei es nundie nervöse Brillanz der Sequenza I für Flöte oder die mittlerweile klassische lyrischeIntensität der für Cathy Berberian geschriebenen Stücke wie Circles oder Sequenza III –bezeugt Berios Fähigkeit, mit der er sich dieser Mittel bediente.

about his music
Sequenza steht nicht nur als ein Beispiel für ein work in progress (im Sinne von James Joyce),sondern auch als eine Verpflichtung, jedes abgeschlossene Werk als ein listening in progress zu betrachten. In den 60er Jahren gab es aber auch schon die ersten Anzeichen für einenUnwillen, musikalische Tradition zu vernachlässigen.Obwohl einige Zeitgenossen sich damit abfanden, Harmonie einfach als eine Form von‚Textur‘ zu betrachten, hatte Berio immer wieder die harmonische Dimension als wichtigsteKategorie seines musikalischen Denkens begriffen. Die Erziehung seines eigenen Hörverhaltensin Sachen Harmonie, wiewohl auch desjenigen seiner Hörer, beruhte ursprünglich auf Beriosungewöhnlich wacher Intuition – z. B. in Sequenza IV für Klavier. Diese Intuition kristallisiertesich aber bald zu einer klaren Konzeption, zuerst in O King, dann in vielen Werken der frühen70er Jahre: nämlich das Erkunden der Konsequenzen, die bei der Projektion einer melodischenLinie auf die harmonische Ebene entstehen. Die Früchte dieses geduldigen Forschungsprozesseskonnten in den Hauptwerken der 80er und 90er geerntet werden, wo die Harmonie ihreRechte als organisatorische Kraft hinter solch wichtigen Musiktheaterwerken wie La verastoria, Un re in ascolto und Outis einfordert, aber auch das meisterhafte Konzept der SequenzaXIII für Akkordeon bereichert. Obwohl Berio in den späten 50er Jahren als unermüdlicher Forscher elektronischer Musikgeschätzt wurde, zog er immer die Risiken und Möglichkeiten des realen Musizierens derabstrakten Suche nach ‚neuen Klängen‘ vor. Wenngleich die Gemeinschaft, die in einemKonzertsaal entsteht, eher zerbrechlich und von kurzer Dauer ist, ist es eine, um die sich Beriomit einzigartiger Zielstrebigkeit bemühte. Berio war schon seit den 60er Jahren einleidenschaftlicher Anhänger von McLuhans Idee des ‚global village‘ (einer Gemeinschaftübrigens, in der ein Konzertsaal oder ein Radiosender einen Mikrokosmos bilden könnte). Soformulierte Berio die Aufgaben der Musik nicht nur im Hinblick auf ihre eigene einzigartigeGeschichte, sondern auch im Hinblick auf allgemein menschliche Anliegen, die ohne ein solchgeduldiges und engagiertes Beharren sehr leicht in Vergessenheit geraten könnten. Seine Musik„weigert sich zu vergessen“.

Le passé en tant qu’avenir: Luciano Berio
Après la deuxième Guerre mondiale et les séquelles qu’elle causa, de nombreux compositeursde la génération de Luciano Berio choisirent de faire table rase. Pour un compositeur commeLuciano Berio, profondément enraciné dans les acquis musicaux de quatre siècles, il ne fut jamaisquestion de choix. Son oeuvre a toujours réinventé des continuités, là où d’autres ne voyaient biensouvent que des possibilités de rupture. Cela ne signifie pas pour autant qu’il était empreint de lanostalgie qui fut commune à un grand nombre de compositions musicales du siècle passé. Bienau contraire, il a conservé une curiosité insatiable pour les expériences exploratoires de sescontemporains, qu’elles soient sur le plan musical ou bien autre. Mais ses dialogues avec lalittérature, la linguistique, l’anthropologie structurale ou l’ethnomusicologie s’avérèrent toujoursdes excursions plagiaires très innovatrices – c’est en tant que compositeur qu’il s’est approprié les

about his music
matières qui le fascinaient, afin d’en extraire des effets souvent fort éloignés de leur contexted’origine. On doit les considérer comme un «hommage» fraternel rendu par le compositeur, noncomme une imitation. Abstraction faite de ses années d’apprentissage à la fin des années 40 etau début des années 50, on peut considérer qu’il en est de même quant à sa réponse à sescontemporains musicaux. Sa relation indirecte avec le courant esthétique postérieur à Webern aété et demeure l’une des caractéristiques essentielles de son oeuvre. A partir de sa fascinationinitiale pour le potentiel métamorphique et son infinité, le principe fondamental de Berio s’estcristallisé pas à pas: tout ce qui a déjà été écrit peut être réécrit. Le charisme mélodique de ses oeuvres composées à la fin des années 50 et au début des années60 témoigne de la faculté de Berio de se servir de ces moyens, que ce soit à travers la brillancenerveuse de la Sequenza I pour flûte ou l’intensité lyrique devenue entre-temps classique despièces composées pour Cathy Berberian telles Circles ou la Sequenza III. De même, la sérieChemins su Sequenza n’est pas seulement la manifestation d’un «work in progress» inspiré parJames Joyce, mais doit être une obligation de considérer chaque oeuvre accomplie sous l’aspect«listening in progress».Mais les années 60 ont vu l’émergence des signes avant-coureurs d’un refus de négliger lesthèmes centraux de la tradition musicale. Tandis que certains contemporains semblent s’êtrecontentés de traiter l’harmonie comme une simple sous-catégorie de la «texture», Berio a fait dela dimension harmonique l’un des points centraux de son idéal musical. L’éducation de sa propreoreille musicale ainsi que celle de ses auditeurs afin de s’orienter au milieu de la jungle desharmonies reposait avant tout sur son intuition exceptionnellement vive, telle que dans laSequenza IV pour piano. Cette intuition s’est cependant rapidement transformée en uneconception claire, tout d’abord avec O King, ensuite dans de nombreuses oeuvres du début desannées 70: ce fut alors l’exploration des conséquences issues de projections harmoniques d’uneligne mélodique. Les fruits de ce patient processus d’exploration ont pu être récoltés dans lesoeuvres majeures des années 80 et 90, où l’harmonie s’affirme aussi bien en tant que forceorganisatrice d’arrière-plan dans les compositions lyriques importantes telles La vera storia, Un rein ascolto et Outis, qu’en tant que facteur d’enrichissement dans la concision magistrale del’oeuvre Sequenza XIII pour accordéon.Bien que Luciano Berio ait joui à la fin des années 50 d’une grande admiration pour sonexploration exubérante des ressources de la musique électronique, sa vive empathie pour lesrisques et possibilités de la représentation «live» l’a continuellement amené à préférer cettedernière à la recherche désincarnée de «nouveaux sons». Même si la communauté qui se créedans une salle de concert lors d’une représentation de qualité est fragile et temporaire, Berio acherché à l’établir avec une détermination singulière. Depuis les années 60, Berio, habitantconvaincu du «village global» de McLuhan (dans lequel une salle de concert ou une station deradio pourrait se constituer en microcosme temporaire), a prôné l’engagement de la musique, nonseulement envers sa propre histoire, mais aussi envers les intérêts humains qui, sans unepersévérance patiente et engagée, pourraient très facilement s’évanouir . Sa musique est unemusique qui «refuse l’oubli».
