  • Nicholas Haralambous – 'A Trojan Horse Deconstructed: Structural
    NICHOLAS HARALAMBOUS - PEER-REVIEWED ARTICLE - A Trojan Horse deconstructed: structural procedures in Michael Tippett’s Second Piano Sonata Nicholas Haralambous Royal Northern College of Music I. War, lust, and fate, all played out under a blistering Aegean sun, make for heady subject matter in Michael Tippett’s second opera, King Priam (1961). Written between 1958 and 1961, King Priam proved a crucible of conflict and transformation, resulting in a stylistic shift of aptly Homeric scale. Tippett’s Piano Sonata No. 2, completed in close proximity with Priam, is inextricably linked with the opera, not least in the motivic material it shares with it. On an immediate level, the Sonata shares an acerbic and fragmentary sound world with its operatic progenitor which, while initially conceived as a vehicle for Priam’s violent subject matter, remained an aesthetic cornerstone of Tippett’s post-Priam style. Echoing the conceptual (and material) connection between the two works, Alastair Borthwick has referred to the Second Sonata as a “Trojan Horse”,1 an apt epithet indeed. Ostensibly radical in its eschewal of Tippett’s earlier neo-classical structural rhetoric, on closer inspection the Second Sonata disguises rigorous motivicism and traditional, albeit innovative, structural techniques behind a veil of avant-garde gesture with all the guile of its mythological namesake. Indeed, rather than a structural and organisational volte-face, Tippett’s Second Sonata constitutes a reworking of the traditional notions of motivic and formal logic present in his pre- Priam work, recasting them as a vehicle for the aesthetic demands of the composer’s new style. This paper will attempt to demonstrate, care of a bipartite analytical reading in Section II, the extent to which the Second Sonata is permeated with organisational structural procedures which defy a surface reading of the work as an essay in 1 A TROJAN HORSE DECONSTRUCTED: STRUCTURAL PROCEDURES IN MICHAEL TIPPETT’S SECOND PIANO SONATA gestural juxtaposition.
