«Три греческих стихотворения» Бруно Мадерны: к вопросу о развитии серийно-додекафонного метода в итальянской музыке конца 1940-х годов

Abstract

The article pursues the goal of partially illing up the blank spaces in the study of the legacy of one of the most outstanding composers from the mid-20th century, a representative of the Darmstadt School, Bruno Maderna (1920–1973). The focus of attention is geared on Maderna’s irst achievement in the sphere of serial technique – the cycle “Tre Liriche Greche” [“Three Greek Poems”], examined in the context of the main tendencies of development of Italian classical music of the late 1940s. This period is marked by a special interest on the part of young composers in the musical legacy of the Second Viennese School, most notably, the serial-dodecaphonic method of Arnold Schoenberg. The decisive role of disseminating the dodecaphonic technique in Italy belongs to Bruno Maderna, along with Luigi Dallapicolla. The author of the article comes to the conclusion, based on his detailed study of the music score, of the original way of interpreting Schoenberg’s method in Maderna’s composition, which explains in many ways the evolution of serial writing in the music of the leading serialist composer of Italy in the second half of the 20th century, Luigi Nono.
