Sequenza

Sequenza

"Sequenza" is the name borne by fourteen compositions for solo instruments or voice by Luciano Berio. The word "sequenza" means "sequence" in Italian. The pieces, which often call for extended techniques,vague|date=September 2008 are:

*"Sequenza I" (1958; rev. 1992) for flute
*"Sequenza II" (1963) for harp
*"Sequenza III" (1965) for female voice
*"Sequenza IV" (1965) for piano
*"Sequenza V" (1966) for trombone
*"Sequenza VI" (1967) for viola
*"Sequenza VII" (1969) for oboe (reworked as "Sequenza VIIb" for soprano saxophone)
*"Sequenza VIII" (1976) for violin
*"Sequenza IX" (1980) for clarinet (reworked 1981 as "Sequenza IXb" for alto saxophone, and 1980 as "Sequenza IXc" for bass clarinet)
*"Sequenza X" (1984) for trumpet and piano resonance
*"Sequenza XI" (1987) for guitar
*"Sequenza XII" (1995) for bassoon
*"Sequenza XIII" (1995) for accordion
*"Sequenza XIV" (2002) for cello

Several of these pieces became the basis of larger works: "Sequenza II", with the addition of extra instrumental parts around the original solo, became "Chemins I"; "Sequenza VI" developed into "Chemins II", "Chemins IIb", "Chemins IIc" and "Chemins III"; "Sequenza VII" became "Chemins IV"; "Sequenza XI" became "Chemins V"; "Sequenza X" became "Kol-Od", also known as "Chemins VI"; "Sequenza IXb" became "Récit", also known as "Chemins VII"; and "Sequenza VIII" became "Corale".

Conversely, "Sequenza IX" had grown out of a piece for clarinet and electronics which Berio later withdrew (this original piece was known as "Chemins V"; it is a different piece to the one now known by that name):)
