Musical Analysis, Composition, performance, Spectral music, Gérard GriseyAbstract
In this article, we propose a reading for the first piece of the suite Les Espaces Acoustiques, Prologue, written in 1976 by Gerard Grisey, for solo viola. In considering that this set of pieces constitutes a musical systematization of the compositional techniques that would be applied and developed by Gérard Grisey in the rest of his works, this analysis is referenced by academic writings about Grisey's composition and, above all, by writings by the composer himself in his efforts to conceptually present the epistemological construction that subsidizes such procedures. In this way, the biomorphism that serves him as an analogical field, as in his threefold notion of musical time (skeleton, flesh and skin of time) and in his proposal of a formal process (inspiration and expiration), is understood by us as a field of compositional operations and, consequently, as analytical criteria, allowing us to propose interpretative approaches and applications in new compositional processes after the notion of energy flow.
