Listening to Your Inner Voice. Lohengrin (1984) by Salvatore Sciarrino and Its Aesthetic Aspects

Magdalena Stochniol

Abstract

The aim of the article is to present the most important elements of the technique and aesthetics of works by the Italian composer Salvatore Sciarrino. Due to the economy of means used, his opera work belongs to the most radical these days, yet at the same time most original group of works which binds the ecology of sound, as well as the aesthetics of silence. The first part of the text describes the composer’s biography together with the basic terminological scope related with the poetics of music, that is, the azzerare strategy, invisible action or the inner space. The second part of the text presents the opera context along with the analysis of Lohengrin – the opera upon which the means of creative and executive expression – used also in other Sciarrino’s works – have been outlined.
