Sequenza I for Flute solo
Sequenza I for Flute solo
L. Berio: Sequenza I for solo Flute was written in 1958 and dedicated to Severino Gazzeloni. This is the first of Sequenza, where Berio set himself the task of writing multi-voiced music for the solo instrument. The work is composed with a spatial rhythmic notation, allowing some temporal freedom for the performer. Each of Sequenza often are called "extended techniques" for exploring the full possibilities of each instrument. Although there's a second, rather significantly altered edition of this piece published in 1992, which Berio himself called "unethical", most flutists still prefer the original edition of 1958. However, it is worthwhile to compare both versions to be able see the differences in flute of thought 34 years apart.
Berio Luciano
Luciano Berio (1925-2003) was an Italian composer, known for his experimental works: solo pieces for various instruments Sequenza (18 in total) and Symphony (Sinfonia) for orchestra and eight amplified voices. His musical style was influenced by Igor Stravinsky as well as impressive experiments with serial and electronic techniques.
From 1974-1980 Berio was the director of electro-acoustic division of IRCAM (French Institute known for its research on music and sound).
