Structural analysis, Timbre exploration, Motivic developmentAbstract
This paper proposes to analyze structural aspects of the piece A Twlilight’s Song by German composer Matthias Pintscher. The analysis will address three main aspects: motivic development, articulation of the global form and timbre exploration. Using as reference the film A Lesson by Pierre Boulez and texts by Steve McAdams, Kaija Saariaho and Panayiotis Kokoras, we aim to discover which techniques were used to achieve the overall form of the work.
