Exposition

Stockhausen's language of extended techniques for flute (2019)

Davide Baldo

About this exposition

This research wants to reflect on the role of unconventional flute sounds, also called extended techniques in Stockhausen’s repertoire. The need for reflecting on this subject comes from the chance to properly express the artistic intention of a composer who could, with an extremely detailed graphical approach, explain the musical content of his sound requirements. The chance to work under the tutelage of Kathinka Pasveer (Stockhausen’s flute player and muse), gives the research a unique insight into Stockhausen's flute repertoire. The "semiography" and "philological" issues, associated with the dramaturgical role of the musical material, led the research to a deeper understanding of the added values of this alternative non-traditional sounds. Analyzing their content and relative musical function, made it possible to develop not only a structured approach for flute players towards this music, but also to highlight a more articulated and detailed approach of the composer himself regarding the flute and its role in the circle LICHT.
