This document examines Luciano Berio's Cinque Voriationi for solo piano (1952-3, rev. 1966) from the perspective of a performer seeking to convey something of the organization of its musical material to a broad audience. Criteria for identifying elementary partitioning (pulse) and grouping (gesture, phrase segments, and phrases) are explored. In analysing relationships between phrases and phrase groups several things must be considered: specific pitch issues, distinctions between primary and auxiliary or accompanimental material, and contour. Throughout the document, suggestions are given for successful realization of fundamental grouping structures in performance. Although the piece has elements of serial construction, it is primarily underlying linear motion which gives sections cohesiveness. Also, certain pitch classes are given special emphasis and become vital reference points. The placement of and linear movement around these emphasized pitch classes create traditional tonal implications, to varying degrees throughout the work. Cinque Variationi is a set of variations for which no theme is provided, and it is far from obvious what is being varied. After examining the grouping structures of this piece, it becomes clear that variations refer to each other in unsystematic ways, and that pitch centers serve as reference points across variations. / Arts, Faculty of / Music, School of / Graduate

En 1955, Luciano Berio obtient de la R.A.I. l’autorisation de créer, dans les locaux milanais de la radio, le Studio di Fonologia, premier studio européen mêlant musique concrète et musique électronique. Ce lieu, dont il définira tout autant les statuts que les différents appareillages, va devenir pour lui durant six ans un lieu de production effrénée de radiodrames pour la R.A.I., mais également un laboratoire de recherches personnelles. Entouré par un cercle d’avant-garde, très au fait des publications scientifiques de son temps - notamment dans le domaine de la linguistique, de la théorie musicale, et du structuralisme - il va plonger de façon empirique au cœur la matière vocale. La situation acousmatique du studio, l’absence d’interprètes, la dimension poétique et théâtrale du langage vont l’amener à se questionner sur l’écoute, et, dans une pensée brechtienne, sur l’écoute de l’écoute. Nous tentons de dégager, dans notre travail, en partant de la réalité du travail en studio, les éléments qui ultérieurement ont fusionné pour devenir le style bérien et qui sont déjà en germe ou même parfaitement identifiables durant cette période qui va de Chamber Music à Laborintus II. / In 1955 the R.A.I. granted Luciano Berio permission to create the Studio di Fonologia in their Milan radio studios, the first European studio to combine “musique concrète” and purely electronic music. He was able to choose the equipment and define the usage of the studio so that it became a place where he would produce radio dramas for the R.A.I. at a furious pace for six years as well as a laboratory for personal research. Surrounded by a circle of avant-garde personalities, very aware of scientific publications of his time - notably in the domains of linguistics, musical theory and structuralism - he will dive in an empirical way into the heart of vocal material. The acousmatic nature of the studio, the absence of live performers, and the poetic and theatrical dimension of language will lead him to ask himself about the notion of listening, and in a Brechtian way, about listening to listening. We will attempt in our work to reveal - from his actual studio work - the elements which later merged to become the Berian style and which were already germinating or even perfectly recognizable during the period from Chamber Music to Laborintus II.

Para tanto, a primeira parte deste trabalho é dedicada a analisar as diversas proposições teóricas do estruturalismo com os argumentos de Claude Lévi-Strauss, Umberto Eco e Vladimir Propp. Seguimos com algumas ponderações de Ferdinand de Saussure, Roman Jakobson e Roland Barthes sobre questões de linguística e, por fim, com conceitos da estética musical, presentes nas reflexões de Enrico Fubini, considerando também algumas das especulações elaboradas por Theodor Adorno, Robert Jauss, Edmund Husserl e Maurice Merleau-Ponty. Na segunda parte, as formulações apresentadas são declinadas no universo conceitual de Berio e Menezes, evidenciando as perspectivas teóricas individuais dos dois compositores. Em seguida, são analisadas exaustivamente as duas obras para harpa solo escritas pelos dois autores: Sequenza II, de Berio, e …donde solo las plantas suenan…, de Menezes, com especial atenção ao processo genético e compositivo. Nessa etapa de análise e confronto, procuramos validar a hipótese de que a reelaboração peculiar e a aplicação subjacente de princípios filosóficos e musicais de matriz estruturalista resultam na presença do Belo nas obras dos dois compositores. / This research analyses the compositional techniques used by Luciano Berio and Flo Menezes, and compares their musical conceptions trying to demonstrate a common origin of these ideas in Structuralism. In order to reach this aim, the first part of this essay is dedicated to analyse the different theoretical propositions of the Structuralism based on the arguments of Claude Lévi-Strauss, Umberto Eco and Vladimir Propp. We then proceed with some considerations about Linguistics issues by Ferdinand de Saussure, Roman Jakobson and Roland Barthes. Lastly, there is an elaboration of musical esthetics concepts, following Enrico Fubini’s perspective, and considering some of the contributions in this field by Theodor Adorno, Robert Jauss, Edmund Husserl and Maurice Merleau-Ponty. In the second part, these philosophical views are applied to Berio’s and Menezes’ conceptual universe, underlining the individual theoretical perspectives of the two composers. Then, we analyse the two compositions for harp solo written by the two authors: Sequenza II by Berio and …donde solo las plantas suenan…by Menezes, giving special attention to the genetic and compositional process. In this stage, we support the hypothesis that the implicit use of philosophical and musical structuralistic principles resulted in the presence of Beauty in the two composers’ pieces.

The musical performer’s embodied experience is an aspect of the performing process that has yet to be adequately considered in music scholarship. The embodied experience is relegated to the realm of the inaccessible and subjective, rather than being considered a valuable source of information for both the music analyst and performer. This thesis contends that the performing body can provide deep insights into musical meaning and can act as a resource for developing musical understanding. The sensations and experiences of the performer’s body during the process of creating music can lead to the recognition of important moments and fundamental meanings within a musical work. Engaging with scholarly literature from a variety of disciplines, this thesis will explore the classical singer’s embodied experience from the three primary perspectives of phenomenology, ecological perceptual theory and body communication theory. Each perspective is explored in and through a comparative listening analysis of Luciano Berio’s work for solo voice Sequenza III per voce femminile (1966) in order to illuminate specific aspects of the singer’s embodied experience. This embodied approach to musical analysis considers the singer’s body as a contributor to not only the production of sound but also to the creation of musical meaning, and can thus offer rich insights into that which is discovered through traditional analysis.
