En analyse av Betsy Jolas' Épisode 1 for fløytesolo en studie av uakkompagnert musikk for fløyte med fokus på interpretatoriske utfordringer

Masteroppgave musikk- Universitetet i Agder, 2014Det er ikke alltid at komponister opplever anerkjennelse utenfor sine egne landegrenser. Betsy Jolas har en solid posisjon i det franske musikklivet i etterkrigstiden, men kjennskap til hennes musikk er ellers i Europa forbeholdt spesielt interesserte. I denne oppgaven har jeg undersøkt Jolas' Épisode I for uakkompagnert fløyte. Dette er et nokså tidlig verk, men det viser tydelige tegn på en eklektisk og original stil. Hovedvekten har vært å se nærmere på hvilke elementer som er nødvendige for en omfattende forståelse av stykket. Jeg har kartlagt de musikkhistoriske og stilmessige innflytelsene som har preget komponisten og utarbeidet en analyse. Ettersom tradisjonelle musikalske elementer som tonalitet, melodikk og tradisjonell satsform er fraværende, har jeg i analysen fokusert på hvilke utfordringer utøveren møter i løpet av innstuderingsprosessen. Stikkord: Jolas, fløyte, interpretasjon, analyse, Épisode I, serialisme, 1900-tallet Not every composer enjoys recognition beyond the borders of their own countries. Betsy Jolas occupies a firm position in french post-war music life, but elsewhere in Europe, attention to her music is reserved for people with a special interest. This thesis examines Jolas' Épisode I for unaccompanied flute. Although a relatively early work, it nevertheless shows clear traits of an eclectic and original style. My main intent has been to explore the components that constitute a comprehensive understanding of the piece. I have identified the historical and stylistic influences on the composer, and have done an analysis. Since traditional musical elements such as tonality, melody and conventional form are absent, I have centered my analysis around the challenges met by the interpreter during the study process. Key words: Jolas, flute, interpretation, analysis, Épisode I, serialism, 20th centur

Hearing Early Modern Music Through the Contemporary

This chapter focuses on how contemporary music practice interacts with early modern1 aesthetics. Two projects, in which Georg Philip Telemann’s solo fantasias are interspersed with contemporary techniques and repertoire, serve as case studies. Firstly, the flutist Felix Renggli commissioned new pieces from 11 contemporary Swiss composers, to be inserted in between Telemann’s 12 Fantasias for Solo Flute. Secondly, violinist Aisha Orazbayeva performed a set of Telemann’s Solo Fantasias for Violin using extended techniques pioneered by Salvatore Sciarrino in his 6 caprices. In this text I use these two different approaches as case studies for how early modern music, exemplified by Telemann, can be communicated to a modern audience without relying upon the concept of historically informed performance, but instead communicates through the operation of semiotics in performance
