- Samenvatting:
- Through his interviews with Rossana Dalmonte and his essays on music, Luciano Berio (1925-2004) reveals the depth and generosity of a thinking that developed independently of that of his own generation, and that embraces the totality of musical forms, beyond the oppositions between old and new, scholarly and popular, avant-garde and mass music. This is because Berio is less concerned with the theoretical dimension per se, wary of overly rigid formulations or positions based on ideological a priori, than he is with accompanying his work as a composer with reflection in action, drawing on sources such as anthropology, ethnomusicology, linguistics and musicology. His reading of the works and the different types of music he tackles is always from the inside, but without ever forgetting that music is a social fact. It is sometimes violently critical, even polemical, but always enlightening, thanks to its breadth and accuracy. As Martin Kaltenecker, translator of the interviews, points out, the texts gathered here constitute an essential contribution to the history of 20th-century music. (Translated with DeepL.com)
