5about his music

The Past as Future: Luciano BerioIn the aftermath of the Second World War, many composers of Luciano Berios 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

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 McLuhans globalvillage (of which any concert-hall or radio station may propose itself as a temporarymicrocosm) he asserted musics 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 BerioDopo la Seconda Guerra Mondiale molti compositori della generazione di Luciano Berio sisentirono obbligati a ricominciare daccapo. Un compositore come Berio per, le cui radiciancoravano profondamente nelle conquiste di quattro secoli, non prese mai in considerazionequesta opzione. La sua opera re-invent costantemente delle continuit 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 curiosit insaziabile verso leesperienze di ricerca dei suoi contemporanei musicisti ed altri. Ma i suoi dialoghi con laletteratura, la linguistica, lantropologia strutturale, la musicologia etnica si sono sempredimostrati i pi ingegnosi raid corsari: egli acquis i materiali di cui aveva bisogno come musicista,per trarne delle conseguenze creative, spesso molto distanti dal contesto originale. Sono unomaggio fraterno, non unimitazione. Al di l del periodo di apprendistato tra la fine degli anni40 e linizio dei 50, si pu 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 dellimmenso potenziale metamorfico di tale pensiero, Berio lo trasofrm in unprincipio di base: sempre possibile ri-scrivere ci che gi 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 intensit lirica dei brani scritti per CathyBerberian, tra cui Circles o Sequenza III testimonia lautorevolezza 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 per anche i primi indizi dellavolont di non trascurare istanze centrali del proprio senso rigoroso della tradizione musicale.Mentre alcuni contemporanei sembravano accontentarsi trattando larmonia semplicementecome una categoria subordinata di texture", Berio non smise mai di tornare con insistenza alladimensione armonica come fulcro delle sue aspirazioni musicali pi ampie. Lallenamento delproprio udito e di quello dei suoi ascoltatori, cos da trovare un percorso attraverso la giunglaarmonica, fu inizialmente un aspetto dellaccortissima intuizione beriana per esempio nellaSequenza IV per pianoforte. Presto per questintuizione divenne parte di una concezione messabene a fuoco, prima in O King, poi in tante opere dei primi anni 70, nelle quali esplor le


7about his music

conseguenze delle proiezioni armoniche partendo da una linea di suoni. I frutti di questo pazienteprocesso desplorazione si poterono cogliere nelle opere principali degli anni 80 e 90, dovel'armonia reclamava i propri diritti quale forza organizzativa dietro opere teatrali cos 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 dellesecuzione dal vivo ebbetendenzialmente la meglio su qualsiasi ricerca astratta di nuovi suoni. Per quanto fragile etemporanea sia la comunit 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 anni60, del global village mcluhaniano (nel quale un auditorio o una stazione radiofonicapotrebbero proporsi come una sorta di microcosmo temporaneo), egli ha affermato limpegnodella musica nei riguardi non solo di se stessa e della sua storia particolare, ma anche nel ribadiretutto ci che concerne lumanit che, in mancanza di una simile reiterazione, paziente e dedita,potrebbe facilmente dileguare. La sua una musica che si rifiuta di dimenticare.

Die Vergangenheit als Zukunft: Luciano BerioNach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg fhlten 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 Erwgung. Sein Werk hattestndig Anknpfungspunkte 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 sprbar 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 hchst schpferische Feldzgeerwiesen. 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 spten40er und frhen 50er Jahren abgesehen, konnte man hnliches ber die Reaktion auf seinemusikalischen Zeitgenossen konstatieren. Schon damals zeigte sich in seiner postwebernschenGesinnung eine Eigenheit, die seither fr sein OEuvre bezeichnend geblieben war. Ausder anfnglichen Faszination ber das grenzenlose metamorphische Potential schlte sichallmhlich Berios Grundsatz heraus: Man kann schon Geschaffenes immer wiedernachschpfen.Die melodische Ausstrahlung seiner Werke der 50er und 60er Jahre sei es nundie nervse Brillanz der Sequenza I fr Flte oder die mittlerweile klassische lyrischeIntensitt der fr Cathy Berberian geschriebenen Stcke wie Circles oder Sequenza III bezeugt Berios Fhigkeit, mit der er sich dieser Mittel bediente. Die Serie Chemins su


8about his music

Sequenza steht nicht nur als ein Beispiel fr 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 fr einenUnwillen, musikalische Tradition zu vernachlssigen.Obwohl einige Zeitgenossen sich damit abfanden, Harmonie einfach als eine Form vonTextur zu betrachten, hatte Berio immer wieder die harmonische Dimension als wichtigsteKategorie seines musikalischen Denkens begriffen. Die Erziehung seines eigenen Hrverhaltensin Sachen Harmonie, wiewohl auch desjenigen seiner Hrer, beruhte ursprnglich auf Beriosungewhnlich wacher Intuition z. B. in Sequenza IV fr Klavier. Diese Intuition kristallisiertesich aber bald zu einer klaren Konzeption, zuerst in O King, dann in vielen Werken der frhen70er Jahre: nmlich das Erkunden der Konsequenzen, die bei der Projektion einer melodischenLinie auf die harmonische Ebene entstehen. Die Frchte 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 fr Akkordeon bereichert. Obwohl Berio in den spten 50er Jahren als unermdlicher Forscher elektronischer Musikgeschtzt wurde, zog er immer die Risiken und Mglichkeiten des realen Musizierens derabstrakten Suche nach neuen Klngen vor. Wenngleich die Gemeinschaft, die in einemKonzertsaal entsteht, eher zerbrechlich und von kurzer Dauer ist, ist es eine, um die sich Beriomit einzigartiger Zielstrebigkeit bemhte. Berio war schon seit den 60er Jahren einleidenschaftlicher Anhnger von McLuhans Idee des global village (einer Gemeinschaftbrigens, in der ein Konzertsaal oder ein Radiosender einen Mikrokosmos bilden knnte). 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 knnten. Seine Musikweigert sich zu vergessen.

Le pass en tant quavenir: Luciano BerioAprs la deuxime Guerre mondiale et les squelles quelle causa, de nombreux compositeursde la gnration de Luciano Berio choisirent de faire table rase. Pour un compositeur commeLuciano Berio, profondment enracin dans les acquis musicaux de quatre sicles, il ne fut jamaisquestion de choix. Son oeuvre a toujours rinvent des continuits, l o dautres ne voyaient biensouvent que des possibilits de rupture. Cela ne signifie pas pour autant quil tait empreint de lanostalgie qui fut commune un grand nombre de compositions musicales du sicle pass. Bienau contraire, il a conserv une curiosit insatiable pour les expriences exploratoires de sescontemporains, quelles soient sur le plan musical ou bien autre. Mais ses dialogues avec lalittrature, la linguistique, lanthropologie structurale ou lethnomusicologie savrrent toujoursdes excursions plagiaires trs innovatrices cest en tant que compositeur quil sest appropri les


9about his music

matires qui le fascinaient, afin den extraire des effets souvent fort loigns de leur contextedorigine. On doit les considrer comme un hommage fraternel rendu par le compositeur, noncomme une imitation. Abstraction faite de ses annes dapprentissage la fin des annes 40 etau dbut des annes 50, on peut considrer quil en est de mme quant sa rponse sescontemporains musicaux. Sa relation indirecte avec le courant esthtique postrieur Webern at et demeure lune des caractristiques essentielles de son oeuvre. A partir de sa fascinationinitiale pour le potentiel mtamorphique et son infinit, le principe fondamental de Berio sestcristallis pas pas: tout ce qui a dj t crit peut tre rcrit. Le charisme mlodique de ses oeuvres composes la fin des annes 50 et au dbut des annes60 tmoigne de la facult de Berio de se servir de ces moyens, que ce soit travers la brillancenerveuse de la Sequenza I pour flte ou lintensit lyrique devenue entre-temps classique despices composes pour Cathy Berberian telles Circles ou la Sequenza III. De mme, la srieChemins su Sequenza nest pas seulement la manifestation dun work in progress inspir parJames Joyce, mais doit tre une obligation de considrer chaque oeuvre accomplie sous laspectlistening in progress.Mais les annes 60 ont vu lmergence des signes avant-coureurs dun refus de ngliger lesthmes centraux de la tradition musicale. Tandis que certains contemporains semblent strecontents de traiter lharmonie comme une simple sous-catgorie de la texture, Berio a fait dela dimension harmonique lun des points centraux de son idal musical. Lducation de sa propreoreille musicale ainsi que celle de ses auditeurs afin de sorienter au milieu de la jungle desharmonies reposait avant tout sur son intuition exceptionnellement vive, telle que dans laSequenza IV pour piano. Cette intuition sest cependant rapidement transforme en uneconception claire, tout dabord avec O King, ensuite dans de nombreuses oeuvres du dbut desannes 70: ce fut alors lexploration des consquences issues de projections harmoniques duneligne mlodique. Les fruits de ce patient processus dexploration ont pu tre rcolts dans lesoeuvres majeures des annes 80 et 90, o lharmonie saffirme aussi bien en tant que forceorganisatrice darrire-plan dans les compositions lyriques importantes telles La vera storia, Un rein ascolto et Outis, quen tant que facteur denrichissement dans la concision magistrale deloeuvre Sequenza XIII pour accordon.Bien que Luciano Berio ait joui la fin des annes 50 dune grande admiration pour sonexploration exubrante des ressources de la musique lectronique, sa vive empathie pour lesrisques et possibilits de la reprsentation live la continuellement amen prfrer cettedernire la recherche dsincarne de nouveaux sons. Mme si la communaut qui se credans une salle de concert lors dune reprsentation de qualit est fragile et temporaire, Berio acherch ltablir avec une dtermination singulire. Depuis les annes 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 prn lengagement de la musique, nonseulement envers sa propre histoire, mais aussi envers les intrts humains qui, sans unepersvrance patiente et engage, pourraient trs facilement svanouir . Sa musique est unemusique qui refuse loubli.
