Jede Gruppe klingt, aber wir kennen das Stück nicht

Abstract

Summary Every Group Sounds, but we don’t Know the Piece. Benjamin Britten’s ”Nocturnal“ op. 70 as a Group Analytic Matrix-Interpretation The topic of a structural analogy of musically phenomena and the group analytic process is hold by the example of a musicalic idea after a group session. The musicalic idea was John Dowlands song „Come, heavy Sleep“ from 1597 and its arrangement in Benjamin Brittens Nocturnal op. 70 from 1963. There appears an analogy between the structure of Brittens piece and the thinking about the process of the immediate before ending group session. The terbium comparationis is Freuds concept of „deferred action“ („Nachträglichkeit“). As Britten puts in his „Nocturnal“ the theme of Dowlands song, which is about four centuries older, just at the and of his piece, whereas in the former movements of the piece it posthum could be discernible, we can only posthum and partly know matrix phenomena of the group. They are – as a musical piece for its listeners – an enigmatic message (Laplanche), which never totally could be transformed in discursive symbols. practice.
