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
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
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
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
