  • Paz, Schoenberg, Y Abel: Una Indagación De Sus Recorridos Hacia La Atonalidad Basada En Atributos Estadísticos De La Música
    Paz, Schoenberg, y Abel: una indagación de sus recorridos hacia la atonalidad basada en atributos estadísticos de la música J. Fernando Anta y Alejandro Martínez Revista Argentina de Musicología 15-16 (2014-2015), 231-250. ISSN 1660-1060 Revista de Musicología 15-16.indd 231 04/08/2016 10:16:48 p.m. 232 Revista Argentina de Musicología 2014-2015 Paz, Schoenberg, y Abel: una indagación de sus recorridos hacia la atonalidad basada en atributos estadísticos de la música Las vinculaciones existentes entre Juan Carlos Paz y Arnold Schoenberg son bien conocidas, y muy estrechas. Sin embargo, la trayectoria recorrida por Paz hacia el abandono de la tonalidad ha sido solo parcialmente documentada, y las relaciones existentes entre dicha trayectoria y aquella recorrida por Schoenberg, su referente, han sido aún menos exploradas. El objetivo del presente estudio fue clarificar es- tos dos puntos focalizando en el tipo de composición lineal de ambos compositores, particularmente en el monto de dispersión de las notas en el registro, y comparando cómo uno y otro avanzó hacia la atonalidad a través de dicho parámetro. Para ello, analizamos cómo en la melodía (vocal) de sus canciones se distribuyen y organizan los intervalos. Los resultados sugieren que, en el marco de sus canciones, los modos en que uno y otro compositor se aproximaron a la atonalidad fueron diferentes: Paz organizó la arquitectura melódica sobre niveles de dispersión menores que los utiliza- dos por Schoenberg, y atendiendo a “reglas de conducción de voces” propias de la música tonal en mayor medida que este último. Palabras clave: Juan Carlos Paz, Arnold Schoenberg, tonalidad, atonalidad, disper- sión de las alturas.

  • 19 by Gianmario Borio* Among the Early Sources Preserved in The
    Beiträge Mauricio Kagel’s Analysis of Schoenberg’s Phantasy for Violin with Piano Accompaniment op. 47 by Gianmario Borio* Among the early sources preserved in the Mauricio Kagel Collection is a dossier dedicated to Schoenberg’s Phantasy op. 47, containing an annotated copy of the score, a series of notes on various aspects of its compositional technique, some annotated samples, and a rough draft of a text most likely intended for publication. This material can only be dated hypothetically on the basis of historical evidence. On August 7, 1953, the Phantasy was per- formed at a concert organized by the Agrupación Nueva Música, in which Kagel participated as a pianist; a fleeting reference to the first book by Allen Forte, seen at the bottom of the table of transpositions, allows us to define the dossier’s terminus post quem; lastly, the language used in the notes, considered along with their underlying topics, seems to rule out the possi- bility that they were written during his early years in Germany.1 Kagel’s analysis reveals much about the set of problems with which he was dealing during the composition of Sexteto de cuerdas and the first version of Anagra- ma.2 It also sheds light on the origin of some of the more durable premises of his thought and, on a more general level, represents a significant episode in the reception of the Phantasy itself. * This article originated as part of the project Composers Analysing Other Composers, on which I have been working for a number of years. The first results of the project were pub- lished in “L’analyse musicale comme processus d’appropriation historique: Webern à Darmstadt,” in Circuit: Musiques contemporaines, 15 (2005), no.

This early, crucial reception history has been incredibly significant and subversive; the details of the personal and political motivations behind deeply negative or manically positive responses to Schoenberg’s music have not been preserved with the same fidelity as the scandalous reactions themselves. We know that Schoenberg was feared, despised, lauded, and imitated early in his career, but much of the explanation as to why has been forgotten or overlooked.

  • La Música Electroacústica De Susana Baron- Supervielle: Esa Vacilación Entre El Sonido Y El Sentido
    La música electroacústica de Susana Baron- Supervielle: esa vacilación entre el sonido y el sentido DEZILLIO, Romina / IAE-FFyL-UBA, Instituto Nacional de Musicología “Carlos Vega”– [email protected] Eje: Artes Musicales - Tipo de trabajo: ponencia » Palabras claves: música electroacústica – mujeres compositoras – voz – poesía › Resumen Este trabajo propone una nueva contribución al estudio de la obra musical de Susana Baron- Supervielle (1910-2004), como parte de mi desempeño en el equipo UBACyT Música 'culta' y literatura en Argentina. Algunos repertorios vocales del siglo XX, radicado en el IAE entre 2016 y 2019. Se realiza un acercamiento a su producción musical con medios electroacústicos con la intención de proporcionar nuevas reflexiones acerca de la relación entre música y poesía que articula la mayor parte de su obra. Como compositora argentina, educada en la cultura francesa y residente en la ciudad de San Pablo, Baron-Supervielle se manifestó siempre seguidora de las vanguardias renovadoras de los lenguajes musicales. En sus prácticas se descubre la capitalización y reelaboración de las propuestas de su triple horizonte cultural articulado entre San Pablo, Buenos Aires y París, a partir del vínculo con sus principales referentes, Hans-Joachim Koellreutter, Juan Carlos Paz y Pierre Schaeffer, respectivamente. El corpus a presentar se constituye de nueve obras compuestas entre 1974 y 1980, de las cuales se analizan tres. Se observa que las obras prolongan los nexos con la literatura poética a partir de evocaciones en los títulos o el registro de la puesta en voz de poemas y su posterior manipulación electrónica. Al mismo tiempo, como resultado de la captura de sonidos de diversas fuentes y su transformación en objetos sonoros, estas obras permiten ampliar el análisis del repertorio de lecturas al de escuchas.

  • Erik Bergman, Cosmopolitanism and the Transformation of Musical Geography1
    Erik Bergman, Cosmopolitanism and the Transformation of Musical Geography1 Björn Heile Erik Bergman (1911-2006) was without a doubt a modernist composer. He engaged and at times battled with many of the defining musical techniques of the twentieth century, from the postromantic nationalism of his earliest works, through a brief dabbling with neoclassicism, the adoption of dodecaphony in the early 1950s, followed soon after by integral serialism and controlled aleatoricism to the experimental exploration of sound of his often austere late works. Despite this almost suspiciously neat match between individual stylistic development and the general trajectories of canonic music history, a detailed engagement with Bergman’s work troubles any whiggish textbook history of musical modernism as a linear story of innovation and progress. To be fair, such accounts no longer bear the authority once accorded to them, but what an investigation of Bergman’s work brings to light is not simply the asynchronicity and diversity of twentieth-century music history or the difficulty of establishing clear criteria for what could be considered ‘avant- gardist’, ‘progressive’, ‘mainstream’, ‘traditional’ or ‘conservative’, ‘dominant’ or ‘marginal’ at any given historical moment. Rather, what emerges most clearly is that modernism has to be thought of as a geographically as much as historically defined phenomenon. Bergman’s music engages with musical geography in at least two ways: by unambiguously embracing modernism from a position at the very periphery of modernism and European culture more widely, and by drawing on non-western traditions. In other words, Bergman’s music problematizes what the postcolonial critic Homi Bhabha has called ‘The Location of Culture’.2 In the following, after sketching relevant theoretical approaches to the cultural geography of musical modernism, I provide an account of Bergman’s career as the progressive development of a cosmopolitan vision.

  • The Argentinian Composer Gerardo Gandini *
    Graciela Paraskevaídis: The Own and the Other. The Argentinian Composer Gerardo Gandini * I. A survey on the development of art music in Argentina in the past fifty years shows clearly that, after the outstanding and basically opposed composers Juan Carlos Paz (1897-1972), Alberto Ginastera (1916-1983) and Hilda Dianda (born 1925), Gerardo Gandini has become the internationally most well-known personality of his generation among the composers born and living in Argentina. Some of his contemporaries like Oscar Bazán (1936), Eduardo Bértola (1939) and Eduardo Kusnir (1939) have made important compositional contributions, but are scarcely known beyond Latin American borders. After Gandini, only Mariano Etkin (born 1943) has succeeded in obtaining a truly international name. Gerardo Gandini was born in Buenos Aires on October 16, 1936 and studied piano with the Argentinians Pía Sebastiani and Roberto Caamaño and afterwards for a short time with Yvonne Loriod, harmony with Carlos Tuxen-Bang, composition with Alberto Ginastera and later also with Goffredo Petrassi at the Accademia di Santa Cecilia in Rome. As a composer he has received innumerable commissions, grants and prizes in Argentina as well as abroad. As a composer and pianist Gandini has participated in many festivals and courses, among them also the ISCM World Music Days in Warsaw (1968), London (1971) and Paris (1975). Much of his music has been published und some of it is available in recordings. In this sense, Gandini's career can be compared to that of a "first- world" composer, a fact seldom to be found in Latin America. Gandini's musical activity has stretched to different areas in over thirty years: composition, interpretation (as pianist and conductor) and teaching composition.
