Chemins IV<\/strong>
\non Sequenza VII<\/em>
\nfor oboe and eleven strings (1975)<\/p>\n

The best way to analyse and comment on a musical work is to write another one using materials from the original work: a creative exploration of a composition is at the same time an analysis, a commentary and an extension of the original. The most profitable commentary on a symphony or an opera has always been another symphony or another opera. This is why my Chemins<\/em>, where I quote, translate, expand and transcribe my Sequenzas for solo instrument, are also the Sequenzas<\/em>\u2019 best analyses. They are a series of specific commentaries which include, almost intact, the object and subject of the commentary. The Chemins<\/em> are not the displacement of an objet trouv\u00e9<\/em> into a different context or the orchestral \u201cdressing up\u201d of a solo piece (the original Sequenza<\/em>), but rather a commentary organically tied to it and generated by it.
\nWhy this insistence on elaborating and transforming again the same material? It is, maybe, a tribute to the belief that a thing done is never finished. Even the \u201ccompleted\u201d work is the ritual and the commentary of something which preceded it, of something which will follow it, as a question that does not provoke an answer but a commentary, and another question…<\/p>\n

Chemins IV<\/em>, for oboe and eleven strings, can be listened to as a commentary to my Sequenza VII<\/em> for oboe (1969), a commentary that amplifies and develops certain harmonic aspects of the original Sequenza<\/em>. The Sequenza<\/em> becomes in fact the generator of new instrumental lines, which in turn make explicit its latent polyphony around a pivot – an ever-present B – that puts into perspective all the subsequent harmonic transformations. Like a reverberating chamber, the development of Chemins IV<\/em> mirrors and shatters the elements of Sequenza VII<\/em>, sometimes receiving their anticipated echo in such a way that for the listener the oboe part seems generated by the eleven strings.<\/p>\n
