Sequenza
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sequenza is the name borne by several pieces of music for solo instruments by Luciano Berio. They are:
- Sequenza I (1958) for flute
- Sequenza II (1963) for harp
- Sequenza III (1965) for female voice
- Sequenza IV (1965) for piano
- Sequenza V (1966) for trombone
- Sequenza VI (1967) for viola
- Sequenza VII (1969) for oboe (reworked as Sequenza VIIb for soprano saxophone)
- Sequenza VIII (1976) for violin
- Sequenza IX (1980) for clarinet (reworked as Sequenza IXb for alto saxophone and Sequenza IXc for bass clarinet)
- Sequenza X (1984) for trumpet and piano resonance
- Sequenza XI (1987) for guitar
- Sequenza XII (1995) for bassoon
- Sequenza XIII (1995) for accordion
- Sequenza XIV (2002) for cello
Several of these pieces became the basis of larger works: Sequenza II, with the addition of extra instrumental parts around the original solo, became Chemins I; Sequenza VI developed into Chemins II, Chemins IIb, Chemins IIc and Chemins III; Sequenza VII became Chemins IV; Sequenza XI became Chemins V; Sequenza X became Kol-Od, also known as Chemins VI; Sequenza IXb became Récit, also known as Chemins VII; and Sequenza VIII became Corale.
Conversely, Sequenza IX had grown out of a piece for clarinet and electronics which Berio later withdrew (this original piece was known as Chemins V; it is a different piece to the one now known by that name).
