Luc Ferrari, Tautologos 1: the Crucial Repetition.
Alba Francesca Battista, Damiano Meacci · University of Michigan Library Repository · 2013
Tautologos 1 (1961) by Luc Ferrari is a composition for magnetic tape.It revolves around classic electric organ sonorities, animated with the fizz of less readily attributable sonic particles.It has a particularly clear compositional strategy by which a certain phrase, in which almost all sound events of the work are, is repeated several times, forming a music period that emphasizes more the only real thematic change in the work.This paper would like to analyse Ferrari's opera and point out some of its characteristics starting from the aesthesic-cognitive approach by Francesco Giomi and Marco Ligabue.
