- Sequenza XI
"Sequenza XI for solo Guitar" (1987–1988) is one of a series of
Sequenza s byLuciano Berio . Written for the American guitaristEliot Fisk , it is an innovative investigation into the dramatic and virtuosic possibilities of musical performance.The work carries a simple form, with a dramatic multitextural section leading into a calm resolution (if such a thing exists in Berio's music) at the end. The guitar Sequenza is also one of the longest Sequenzas, the longest being "
Sequenza XII ", thebassoon "Sequenza". A variety of guitar techniques are explored in this piece includingrasqueado (from the flamenco tradition),tremolo ,glissando ,harmonics , tambour (percussive effects). In terms of harmony, the work is based on the guitar's characteristic harmony/tuning, i.e., the interval of a perfect fourth. Set class 6-7 also underlies most of the linear material.Fact|date=September 2008"Sequenza XI" is a standard work for guitarists who have chosen
