The Past as Future: Luciano Berio

In the aftermath of the Second World War, many composers of Luciano Berios generation felt obliged to wipe the slate clean. To a composer with roots as deep in the achievements of the past four centuries as Berio, this was never an option. His work constantly re-invented continuities where others saw only the possibilities of rupture. Not that he was ever tempted by the assorted nostalgias that haunted some part of the music of the last century. On the contrary, he maintained an insatiable curiosity about the explorations of his contemporaries musical or otherwise. But his dialogues with literature, with linguistics, with structural anthropology, 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 creative consequences often far removed from their original context. They are a fraternal homage, not an imitation. Beyond his apprentice years of the late forties and early fifties, much the same might be said of his response to his musical contemporaries. His oblique relationship to the post-Webernian mainstream was the first instance of a trait that has remained central to his work ever since. Seizing with relish upon its demonstrations of inexhaustible metamorphic potential, he expanded this into a basic principle: you may always re-write what is already written. The exuberant melodic confidence of his work from the late fifties and sixties whether the nervous brilliance of the flute Sequenza I, or the by now classic lyrical intensity of works written for Cathy Berberian, such as Circles or Sequenza III bears witness to the confident authority with which he grasped these means. Equally, the series of Chemins that revisit solo Sequenzas demonstrate not just a Joycean work in progress, but our obligation to treat each completed work as a listening in progress. But the sixties also saw the first indices of an unwillingness to side-line issues central to his rigorous sense of musical tradition. Where some contemporaries seemed content to treat harmony as simply a subcategory of texture, Berio insistently 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 at first a matter of brilliantly alert intuition in, for instance, Sequenza IV for piano but was soon absorbed into a focussed framework, first in O King, but then in many subsequent works of the early seventies, by exploring the consequences of harmonic projections from a line. The fruits of this patient process of exploration came in the major works of the eighties and nineties, where harmony resumed its rights as the organising force behind such major theatre works as La vera storia, Un re in ascolto, and Outis, but could equally determine the masterly concision of Sequenza XIII for accordion. Although Berio drew admiration in the late fifties as an exuberant explorer of electronic resources, 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 the community created in the concert-hall by a brilliant performance, it is one that Berio served with singular fixity of purpose. Since the sixties a vigorous inhabitant of McLuhans global village (of which any concert-hall or radio station may propose itself as a temporary microcosm) he asserted musics obligation not only to its own singular history, but also to the re-statement of human concerns that, without such patient and committed reiteration, could so easily evaporate. His is a music that refuses to forget. David Osmond-Smith
Il passato come futuro: Luciano Berio

Dopo la Seconda Guerra Mondiale molti compositori della generazione di Luciano Berio si sentirono obbligati a ricominciare daccapo. Un compositore come Berio per, le cui radici ancoravano profondamente nelle conquiste di quattro secoli, non prese mai in considerazione questa opzione. La sua opera re-invent costantemente delle continuit laddove altri vedevano come unica alternativa la rottura. Non che fosse mai stato attratto da quelle nostalgie aleggianti in alcune musiche del secolo scorso. Al contrario, mantenne una curiosit insaziabile verso le esperienze di ricerca dei suoi contemporanei musicisti ed altri. Ma i suoi dialoghi con la letteratura, la linguistica, lantropologia strutturale, la musicologia etnica si sono sempre dimostrati 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 un omaggio fraterno, non unimitazione. Al di l del periodo di apprendistato tra la fine degli anni 40 e linizio dei 50, si pu affermare praticamente lo stesso a proposito della sua interazione con i suoi contemporanei musicali. La relazione non sempre diretta con la corrente di pensiero postweberniana fu il primo dei tratti che da allora caratterizzarono la sua opera. Impossesandosi con gusto dellimmenso potenziale metamorfico di tale pensiero, Berio lo trasofrm in un principio 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 brillantezza nervosa della Sequenza I per flauto, sia l'ormai classica intensit lirica dei brani scritti per Cathy Berberian, tra cui Circles o Sequenza III testimonia lautorevolezza con cui Berio ricorreva a questi mezzi. La serie dei Chemins, rivisitazioni delle Sequenze per strumento solo, non soltanto si dimostra un work in progress nel senso joyceano, ma ci obbliga anche a considerare ogni opera compiuta come un listening in progress. Gli anni 60 vedevano per anche i primi indizi della volont di non trascurare istanze centrali del proprio senso rigoroso della tradizione musicale. Mentre alcuni contemporanei sembravano accontentarsi trattando larmonia semplicemente come una categoria subordinata di texture", Berio non smise mai di tornare con insistenza alla dimensione armonica come fulcro delle sue aspirazioni musicali pi ampie. Lallenamento del proprio udito e di quello dei suoi ascoltatori, cos da trovare un percorso attraverso la giungla armonica, fu inizialmente un aspetto dellaccortissima intuizione beriana per esempio nella Sequenza IV per pianoforte. Presto per questintuizione divenne parte di una concezione messa bene a fuoco, prima in O King, poi in tante opere dei primi anni 70, nelle quali esplor le
about his music
conseguenze delle proiezioni armoniche partendo da una linea di suoni. I frutti di questo paziente processo desplorazione si poterono cogliere nelle opere principali degli anni 80 e 90, dove l'armonia reclamava i propri diritti quale forza organizzativa dietro opere teatrali cos importanti come La vera storia, Un re in ascolto e Outis, ma determinava ugualmente anche la magistrale concisione della Sequenza XIII per fisarmonica. Malgrado Berio fosse apprezzato nei tardi anni 50 come esuberante esploratore di risorse elettroniche, la sua vivace empatia per i rischi e le ricompense dellesecuzione dal vivo ebbe tendenzialmente la meglio su qualsiasi ricerca astratta di nuovi suoni. Per quanto fragile e temporanea sia la comunit che si crea in una sala da concerto in occasione di una brillante esecuzione, 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 radiofonica potrebbero proporsi come una sorta di microcosmo temporaneo), egli ha affermato limpegno della musica nei riguardi non solo di se stessa e della sua storia particolare, ma anche nel ribadire tutto 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. David Osmond-Smith
Die Vergangenheit als Zukunft: Luciano Berio

Nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg fhlten sich viele Komponisten dem Ruf nach einer tabula rasa verpflichtet. Ein Komponist wie Luciano Berio, dessen Wurzeln so tief in den Errungenschaften von vier Jahrhunderten verankert waren, zog so etwas nie in Erwgung. Sein Werk hatte stndig Anknpfungspunkte ge- und erfunden, wo andere nur die Alternative eines Bruchs sahen. Das bedeutet aber nicht, dass er jemals von der Nostalgie befallen wurde, die in vielen Kompositionen des vegangenen Jahrhunderts sprbar ist. Ganz im Gegenteil hatte er sich stets eine unstillbare Neugier auf die Erkundungen seiner Zeitgenossen bewahrt sowohl auf die musikalischen wie auch auf andere. Aber seine Dialoge mit Literatur, Linguistik, Musikethnologie oder Anthropologie hatten sich immer als hchst schpferische Feldzge erwiesen. Er eignete sich das Material an, das ihn als Musiker faszinierte, um daraus kreative Konsequenzen zu ziehen, die oft weit entfernt vom originalen Kontext waren. Das ist eine kollegiale Hommage, keine Imitation. Einmal von seinen Lehrjahren in den spten 40er und frhen 50er Jahren abgesehen, konnte man hnliches ber die Reaktion auf seine musikalischen Zeitgenossen konstatieren. Schon damals zeigte sich in seiner postwebernschen Gesinnung eine Eigenheit, die seither fr sein OEuvre bezeichnend geblieben war. Aus der anfnglichen Faszination ber das grenzenlose metamorphische Potential schlte sich allmhlich Berios Grundsatz heraus: Man kann schon Geschaffenes immer wieder nachschpfen. Die melodische Ausstrahlung seiner Werke der 50er und 60er Jahre sei es nun die nervse Brillanz der Sequenza I fr Flte oder die mittlerweile klassische lyrische Intensitt 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
about 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 einen Unwillen, musikalische Tradition zu vernachlssigen. Obwohl einige Zeitgenossen sich damit abfanden, Harmonie einfach als eine Form von Textur zu betrachten, hatte Berio immer wieder die harmonische Dimension als wichtigste Kategorie seines musikalischen Denkens begriffen. Die Erziehung seines eigenen Hrverhaltens in Sachen Harmonie, wiewohl auch desjenigen seiner Hrer, beruhte ursprnglich auf Berios ungewhnlich wacher Intuition z. B. in Sequenza IV fr Klavier. Diese Intuition kristallisierte sich aber bald zu einer klaren Konzeption, zuerst in O King, dann in vielen Werken der frhen 70er Jahre: nmlich das Erkunden der Konsequenzen, die bei der Projektion einer melodischen Linie auf die harmonische Ebene entstehen. Die Frchte dieses geduldigen Forschungsprozesses konnten in den Hauptwerken der 80er und 90er geerntet werden, wo die Harmonie ihre Rechte als organisatorische Kraft hinter solch wichtigen Musiktheaterwerken wie La vera storia, Un re in ascolto und Outis einfordert, aber auch das meisterhafte Konzept der Sequenza XIII fr Akkordeon bereichert. Obwohl Berio in den spten 50er Jahren als unermdlicher Forscher elektronischer Musik geschtzt wurde, zog er immer die Risiken und Mglichkeiten des realen Musizierens der abstrakten Suche nach neuen Klngen vor. Wenngleich die Gemeinschaft, die in einem Konzertsaal entsteht, eher zerbrechlich und von kurzer Dauer ist, ist es eine, um die sich Berio mit einzigartiger Zielstrebigkeit bemhte. Berio war schon seit den 60er Jahren ein leidenschaftlicher Anhnger von McLuhans Idee des global village (einer Gemeinschaft brigens, in der ein Konzertsaal oder ein Radiosender einen Mikrokosmos bilden knnte). So formulierte Berio die Aufgaben der Musik nicht nur im Hinblick auf ihre eigene einzigartige Geschichte, sondern auch im Hinblick auf allgemein menschliche Anliegen, die ohne ein solch geduldiges und engagiertes Beharren sehr leicht in Vergessenheit geraten knnten. Seine Musik weigert sich zu vergessen. David Osmond-Smith
Le pass en tant quavenir: Luciano Berio

Aprs la deuxime Guerre mondiale et les squelles quelle causa, de nombreux compositeurs de la gnration de Luciano Berio choisirent de faire table rase. Pour un compositeur comme Luciano Berio, profondment enracin dans les acquis musicaux de quatre sicles, il ne fut jamais question de choix. Son oeuvre a toujours rinvent des continuits, l o dautres ne voyaient bien souvent que des possibilits de rupture. Cela ne signifie pas pour autant quil tait empreint de la nostalgie qui fut commune un grand nombre de compositions musicales du sicle pass. Bien au contraire, il a conserv une curiosit insatiable pour les expriences exploratoires de ses contemporains, quelles soient sur le plan musical ou bien autre. Mais ses dialogues avec la littrature, la linguistique, lanthropologie structurale ou lethnomusicologie savrrent toujours des excursions plagiaires trs innovatrices cest en tant que compositeur quil sest appropri les
about his music
matires qui le fascinaient, afin den extraire des effets souvent fort loigns de leur contexte dorigine. On doit les considrer comme un hommage fraternel rendu par le compositeur, non comme une imitation. Abstraction faite de ses annes dapprentissage la fin des annes 40 et au dbut des annes 50, on peut considrer quil en est de mme quant sa rponse ses contemporains musicaux. Sa relation indirecte avec le courant esthtique postrieur Webern a t et demeure lune des caractristiques essentielles de son oeuvre. A partir de sa fascination initiale pour le potentiel mtamorphique et son infinit, le principe fondamental de Berio sest cristallis 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 annes 60 tmoigne de la facult de Berio de se servir de ces moyens, que ce soit travers la brillance nerveuse de la Sequenza I pour flte ou lintensit lyrique devenue entre-temps classique des pices composes pour Cathy Berberian telles Circles ou la Sequenza III. De mme, la srie Chemins su Sequenza nest pas seulement la manifestation dun work in progress inspir par James Joyce, mais doit tre une obligation de considrer chaque oeuvre accomplie sous laspect listening in progress. Mais les annes 60 ont vu lmergence des signes avant-coureurs dun refus de ngliger les thmes centraux de la tradition musicale. Tandis que certains contemporains semblent stre contents de traiter lharmonie comme une simple sous-catgorie de la texture, Berio a fait de la dimension harmonique lun des points centraux de son idal musical. Lducation de sa propre oreille musicale ainsi que celle de ses auditeurs afin de sorienter au milieu de la jungle des harmonies reposait avant tout sur son intuition exceptionnellement vive, telle que dans la Sequenza IV pour piano. Cette intuition sest cependant rapidement transforme en une conception claire, tout dabord avec O King, ensuite dans de nombreuses oeuvres du dbut des annes 70: ce fut alors lexploration des consquences issues de projections harmoniques dune ligne mlodique. Les fruits de ce patient processus dexploration ont pu tre rcolts dans les oeuvres majeures des annes 80 et 90, o lharmonie saffirme aussi bien en tant que force organisatrice darrire-plan dans les compositions lyriques importantes telles La vera storia, Un re in ascolto et Outis, quen tant que facteur denrichissement dans la concision magistrale de loeuvre Sequenza XIII pour accordon. Bien que Luciano Berio ait joui la fin des annes 50 dune grande admiration pour son exploration exubrante des ressources de la musique lectronique, sa vive empathie pour les risques et possibilits de la reprsentation live la continuellement amen prfrer cette dernire la recherche dsincarne de nouveaux sons. Mme si la communaut qui se cre dans une salle de concert lors dune reprsentation de qualit est fragile et temporaire, Berio a cherch ltablir avec une dtermination singulire. Depuis les annes 60, Berio, habitant convaincu du village global de McLuhan (dans lequel une salle de concert ou une station de radio pourrait se constituer en microcosme temporaire), a prn lengagement de la musique, non seulement envers sa propre histoire, mais aussi envers les intrts humains qui, sans une persvrance patiente et engage, pourraient trs facilement svanouir . Sa musique est une musique qui refuse loubli. David Osmond-Smith
