Abstract

Sonata za alt saksofon i klavir Edisona Denisova jedna je od prvih skladbi za saksofon, ako ne i prva, koja sadrži proširene tehnike sviranja saksofona (multifone, četvrt-tonove, slap, flažolete, glissanda, frulato) i zbog toga je analiza i proučavanje Sonate bio prvi izbor za temu diplomskog rada.
Sonata je napisana u razdoblju kada su u svijetu Nove glazbe već bile prisutne vrlo jake reakcije i veliki otpor prema totalnoj organizaciji glazbenih parametara pa je i ta činjenica vjerojatno utjecala na Denisova da ne bude potpuno dosljedan u realizaciji onih dijelova skladbe u kojima je rabio dodekafonsku tehniku. U Sonati on, naime, koristi kombinirane tehnike skladanja, tj. uz dodekafoniju još se javljaju i tehnika intervalskih i ritamskih ćelija, modalna tehnika koja se najviše veže uz dijelove Sonate koji obiluju utjecajima jazz glazbe, a ima i trenutaka kada skladba zalazi i u područje aleatorike. Upravo takvim otvorenim pristupom različitim tehnikama skladanja Denisov skladbi daje svoj osobni i vrlo subjektivan pristup.

Abstract (english)

Sonate for alt saxophone and piano by Edison Denisov is one of the first pieces (if not the first one) written for saxophone that includes extended (modern) techniques (multiphonics, quarter-tones, slap, altissimo, glissando, frulato), which makes the analysis of the Sonate the first choice for this thesis.
This sonate was written in the period of a very strong reaction and ressistance against the total organization of the musical parameters, which has most likely affected Denisov in not being completely dodecaphonic and serial compositor. He uses the combinatory techniques, dodecaphonics and the technique of intervals and rhythmic cells. He refuses to compose in the complete dodecaphonics technique, which makes the Sonate very interesting and gives it more personal and subjective approach in composing.
