Sciarrino Salvatore
Salvatore Sciarrino (1947) is an Italian composer, regarded as one of the most performed Italian composers of contemporary classical music. Born in Sicily, he moved to Rome to study electronic music at the Accademia di Santa Cecilia in Rome. Later he moved to Milan where he taught at the Milan Conservatory. His compositional style was greatly influenced by modernist composer Luigi Nono. Sciarrino's music is avant-garde but complemented with a frequent use of silence. "...there's one thing without which no delight in sound makes sense, and that is the intensity of silence."
His music can be regarded as complex articulatory blocks which Sciarrino calls "figures", constantly balancing between "being" and "not-being" in terms of traditional sounds. The concept of the mystical Void has been present throughout many of his works. Among his most noteworthy compositions: opera Amore e Psiche (1972), Un’immagine di Arpocrate (1979) for piano, choir and orchestra. During 1980s and 1990s he created numerous compositions for solo instruments and small ensembles. One of his most outstanding work: II cerchio tagliato dei suoni (1997) for four solo flutes and 100 migrant flutes.
