Structural thinking and polyvalence principle in the European musical composition of the last third of the XX century in the context of Gilles Deleuze’s “The Logic of Sense”

Authors

Abstract

The article represents a tentative analysis of semantic units in a sentence and structural units in composition of new music. The ratio of surplus and lack of structural thinking represents a paradox, which is very characteristic for new music and its composition structure. The article identifies three levels of interactions. The first is a pre-composite level: generating initial “matrix” of composition, an overall idea, which determines all other levels of composition. The second is a multiserial structure with complex interrelation of various aspects of musical material in compositions of “new complexity”. And the third level is Organizing a whole Temporary grid [Zeitnetz] of H. Lachenmann’s — an extended succession of serially permuted and rhythmic sounds which carry out functions of the abstract indexes fixing the introduction or “switching off ” of various sound sets, culmination zones and etc. The treatise by Gilles Deleuze “Logic of sense” and the statement of composers about structuring musical composition becomes a main concern of the article.
