Luciano Berio (1925 – 2003),  “Sequenza XI”.

Author’s Note:

With Sequenza XI for guitar I was interested in developing a dialogue between the very idiomatic harmony of the instrument,  strongly conditioned by its tuning,  and another,  more extended and non-idiomatic harmonic dimension (the passport for moving between these two distant territories is the interval of an augmented fourth).  InSequenza XI two instrumental idioms are also present:  one has its roots in the Flamenco tradition, the other in classical guitar (the bridge between these two “histories” has been my own desire to experiment with an instrument I love).  The dialogue between the two harmonic dimensions on one hand and the two instrumental idioms on the other,  takes place through a continuous exchange and transformation of specific characters and clearly recognizable figures.
Sequenza XI was written in 1987-1988 for Eliot Fisk.
