Paul M. Walker points out the importance of three seventeenth-century manuscripts which, according to him, reflect the origins of the late Baroque monothematic fugue. The documents present a new "model" with specific criteria to write monothematic fugues. Walker suggests that the criteria presented in these manuscripts are first found in seventeenth-century Italian violin ensemble fugues. This thesis traces the development of seventeenth-century monothematic fugues and how they compare with the criteria presented in the manuscripts, with a particular emphasis on Italian violin ensemble fugues. The manuscripts indeed present a new "model" to write monothematic fugues as compared to earlier models. Generally speaking, the criteria included in the manuscripts are more present in monothematic fugues found in seventeenth-century violin ensemble music than in keyboard music of the same period. However, many of these imitative pieces present characteristics of fugato (rather than "true" fugues) and cannot be compared with the manuscripts' criteria. Therefore, the documents are important from a theoretical standpoint but their practical application in seventeenth-century violin music is not as clear or systematic as Walker implies.

L’objectif de ce mémoire est de rendre compte d’une figure particulièrement dynamique dans l’écriture de Leïla Sebbar, celle de l’adolescent fugueur. Mohamed dans Le Chinois vert d’Afrique (1982) et Shérazade dans Shérazade, 17 ans, brune, frisée, les yeux verts (1984), personnifient une réalité autre que celle accolée aux jeunes descendants de l’immigration maghrébine (surtout algérienne), partagés entre les codes culturels du pays d’origine et ceux du pays de naissance. L’hybridité des personnages et leur mobilité aléatoire permettent de réévaluer les discours sociaux dominants émis en France, pays tiraillé entre les aspirations d’unité nationale et l’histoire coloniale. Le premier chapitre fera état du contact des fugueurs avec la représentation picturale et sa place dans la constitution de leur identité. À la lumière de ces observations, la seconde partie du travail se penchera sur la prise de conscience du regard de l’Autre et le questionnement de l’image préconçue de l’adolescent de banlieue inculte en mal d’insertion sociale. La déconstruction de ce cliché permettra dans le troisième chapitre d’aborder la réappropriation de l’objet culturel par les fugueurs, procédant à une véritable démocratisation de la culture élitiste. Le quatrième chapitre sera enfin consacré au mouvement des fugueurs dans l’espace et dans le temps. Nous y verrons comment les fugueurs, intermédiaires entre la ville et sa banlieue mais aussi entre le paradis perdu du pays d’origine et le désarroi des parents immigrés, provoquent la relecture de l’histoire des générations passées tout en gardant un œil critique sur l’avenir. / The purpose of this master’s thesis is to study the dynamic figure of the runaway in the writing of Leïla Sebbar. Mohamed in “Le Chinois Vert d’Afrique” (1982) and Shérazade in “Shérazade, 17 ans, brune, frisée, les yeux verts” (1984), personifie a reality that the young descendants of the North African immigration must encounter, torn between the cultural codes of the country of origin and the country of birth. The blend of the characters’ culture and their constant mobility reassess the dominant social discourse during a time when France was torn between the aspirations of a national unity and colonial history. The first chapter examines the cultural blend of the runaways with the pictorial representation and its place in the formation of the young protagonists’ identity. In light of these observations, the second part of the thesis will focus on the characters’ awareness of the Other’s perception. The stereotypical suburban teenager lacking culture resulting in the character feeling out of place is being questioned. The breakdown of the “cliché” in the third chapter will address the importance of culture by characters, allowing for a democratization of an upper class culture. The fourth chapter is devoted to the movement of the runaways in space and time. Between the city and its suburbs, the lost paradise that Algeria represents, and the distress of the parents that have left their beloved country, the last part of this study will focus on the characters’ contribution to the rewriting of the history of past and future generations.

As our world ramps up the speed of its connections, our identities merge with increasing speed and angles of confluence. Not only are new identities created, but also the more fringe social and cultural elements of our world are exposed to mainstream consciousness. My work is a product of my own fringe background (namely its sheer breadth of experiences not normally visited upon a single person's life). My aim is to add variables to our social and cultural speed of combination and new variety by creating work that is derived from my own experiences to speak to those who are of the newer combinations and newer social recognition. I am motivated to create this work both to perpetually define and redefine myself, and also to give ground to an ‘identity of no identity' on a global scale, to our artistic dialogue and catalog.

Este trabalho tem por objetivo analisar os processos composicionais do Kyrie, segundo movimento do Réquiem (1963-65), de György Ligeti. Segundo seu compositor, essa peça é uma \"estranha fuga\" e, como tal, receberá durante nosso trabalho a terminologia correspondente a essa declaração. No primeiro capítulo, investigaremos a microestrutura da obra e perceberemos aí o caráter direcional das alturas do Sujeito 1, Kyrie eleison, (Cohn, 1998; Douthett & Steinbach, 1998; Lewin; 1982) e as simetrias que descrevem o Sujeito 2, Christe eleison (Weyl, 1997; McManus, 2005). No segundo capítulo, discutiremos o conceito de ilusão sonora (Caznok, 2008; Vitale, 2013; Menezes, 2004), sua recorrência na obra de Ligeti e na compreensão da superfície audível do Kyrie. No terceiro e último capítulo, retomaremos alguns aspectos da história do termo \"fuga\" (Mann, 1987) na busca de reflexos dessa história na escrita de Ligeti. Durante todo o nosso texto, lembraremos de outras obras artísticas que, em diálogo com o Kyrie, nos ajudarão a exemplificar, contrapor ou ratificar procedimentos composicionais da obra de Ligeti. Nossa investigação tende a situar a obra desse compositor na questão da Tradição e Ruptura, problematizada pela modernidade (Arendt, 2013; Compagnon, 2010), a partir de uma abordagem prática: a da análise musical. / This work aims to analyze the compositional process of Kyrie, the second movement of Réquiem (1963-95), by György Ligeti. According to Ligeti, this piece is a \"strange fugue\" and, as such, we will use a terminology corresponding to that statement. In the first chapter, we will investigate the microstructure of the piece and we will find the pitches\' directionality of the Subject 1, Kyrie eleison, (Cohn, 1998; Douthett & Steinbach, 1998; Lewin; 1982) and the symmetries that characterizes the Subject 2, Christe eleison (Weyl, 1997; McManus, 2005). In the second chapter, we will discuss the concept of sound illusion (Caznok, 2008; Vitale, 2013; Menezes, 2004), its recurrence in Ligeti\'s repertoire and its relevance to the understanding of the audible surface of Kyrie. In the third chapter, we will remember some aspects of the history of the word \"fugue\" (Mann, 1987), looking for reflections of this history in the Kyrie. During our argumentation, we will bring out another works of art, which will be related to the Kyrie, helping us to illustrate, oppose or endorse the compositional procedures of Ligeti\'s work. Our research tends to situate the Kyrie in the context of Tradition and Rupture, considered by modernity (Arendt, 2013; Compagnon 2012), from a practical approach, the analytical research

Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach (1714-1788) published his Versuch über die wahre Art das Clavier zu spielen in 1753 and 1762. It was the most important essay on keyboard performance practice of the mid-eighteenth century. The publication of this book also made C. P. E. Bach the most influential keyboard pedagogue of the eighteenth century. The last chapter of the Versüch, titled ¡§Improvisation¡¨, explains his concepts of ¡§Freie Fantasia¡¨ and provides suggestions for performing the fantasia. C. P. E. Bach points out that Freie Fantasia is a kind of composition in which the performer has much freedom for improvising and for expressing his emotion. This thesis is divided into three sections, excluding the introduction and the conclusion. The first section discusses the development of the fantasia before the eighteenth century. It explores the change of styles and compositional technique of the fantasia from the sixteenth to the eighteenth century. The second part includes an introduction of the life of C. P. E. Bach, his style of composition, technique of improvisation and how he applies his improvisational techniques in his fantasia. The third part provides the definition of ¡§Freie Fantasia¡¨, discusses the influences of J. S. Bach¡¦s Chromatic Fantasia and Fugue in D Minor on him, and elaborates on the characteristics of the Freie Fantasia, including the recitative style, meter-free and formal structure, virtuosic passages, bold modulations, and the use of contrasting materials. Examples are also provided in this part.
