Luciano Berio The score I was reading for this exercise was actually Chemins IV, which is an arrangement for Oboe and strings. However, the Oboe part – the most important – is the same. Sequenza VII by Luciano Berio is a composition for performance on Oboe and Oboe alone. The entire series of Sequenzas, the composition of which took place over 34 years of Berio’s life and explore virtuosic applications of both listener and player. (Garland Online) There are a few very important characteristics about this piece, first is the continually shifting meter: 3/4, 5/8, 4/8, 7/16, 3/8, 5/16, 2/8 – basically one bar of each, and that is only the first seven bars of the piece. This makes counting the piece rather difficult, but I will quote a friend of mine: “my father used to say that the easiest way to count odd-meter is to ignore the bar lines” (Simon Hawker), but it also makes for some interesting dynamics.
Sequenza VII explores a concept that I’d known about, but never articulated: that being the exploration of a tone center and the “escape” from it (thanks Peter), or the exploration of the harmonic possibilities of that one tone center.

The idea of using one single drone note as a base and exploring the potential of that one note is used a lot in free improvisation and this idea as a musical theme is quite common. The Oboe then leaps around quite radically in short bursts as if it is attempting to “escape” from the B, which it does do, only to be “trapped” again later in the piece on an F, where it then attempts to escape. The Sequenzas, as a series, follow similar themes of sonic exploration on a solo instrument which are hard to play and hard to listen to.
In this particular example, Berio has shown us that you need only one instrument to create a dynamically moving piece that is full of intensity where the only recurring theme is that of “escape”; it is otherwise a non-standard structure in that it moves from an [A] section through to an [S] section, over 9 minutes without repeating anything. I learned some new terminology and musical ideas that would certainly be interesting to pursue, but the most interesting aspect of this composition was the use of different fingerings to change the timbre of the instrument on only one note. How, to engage a listener with minimal instrumentation, the piece needs to move very dynamically.
