The Fourth Piece of Schumann’s Kreisleriana, Op. 16, as a Musical Fragment: Discontinuity and Unity Intertwined

At the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries, Friedrich Schlegel and Novalis established the literary fragment as a significant genre. In spite of its historical importance, the precise nature of a literary fragment is hard to define. This difficulty is in part an outcome of the coexistence of two characteristic features that apparently exclude each other: inconclusiveness and inner cohesion.

I nuovi mondi di Albert Simon: ipotesi di una nuova tonalità

The theoretical works of the Hungarian musical theorist Albert Simon (1926-2000) – a very eclectic musician, orchestra conductor and analyst – are thus far unpublished. Only German musicology has been dealing with him: Bernhard Haas, who was his student, wrote a book about his thought (2004), and the German journal, «Zeitschrift der Gesellschaft für Musiktheorie», has published many theoretical contributions.

Toward a Theory of Synaesthetic Composition: A Case Study of Messiaen’s Sound-Colour and Bedazzlement

Messiaen is likely to be the only synaesthete-composer of canonical stature to have written about his perception, theorization, and utilization of sound-colours in great details. Until now, Messiaen’s claim as a synaesthete has not been studied by neuroscientists specialized in research on colour-hearing, although he fits surprisingly well the criteria laid down in standard texts of neuroscience.

Lo stile nello studio: composizione e interpretazione nella produzione di Fabrizio De André e Ivano Fossati

This essay is a study of the musical style of Fabrizio De André (1940-1999) and Ivano Fossati (1951). The analysis of De André’s and Fossati’s production from a musical point of view allows us to uncover the implementation of real strategies, techniques of composition, which highlight their musical language. Furthermore, this article will provide the occasion to discuss some more global questions about style in “canzone d’autore”
