Alessandro Sbordoni
Le parole del silenzio
(1981)
for Piano

Le parole del silenzio was written in 1981 and draws inspiration from a strongly structuring approach. The work was set up starting from some rhythmic-melodic fragments, which have been broken up and made up every time in a different way, originating this way a series of musical "phrases". These phrases are delimited, according to the different formal levels, by silences of different length (here is why I chose this title). This allows the performer to give different musical senses to every performance, as it happened while performing Frescobaldi's toccatas.
Another characteristic of Le parole del silenzio is its marked harmonic verticality involving a group of four triads. These sound aggregates form a harmonic "mode" and bring about the melodic movements, creating a tight relationship between the two dimensions of the sound.
