Argentine music for flute with the employment of extended techniques : an analysis of selected works by Eduardo Bértola and Marcelo Toledo
Abstract
Extended techniques used in contemporary music for flute refers to particular
performance techniques that need to be utilized to produce non-conventional sonorities
on the flute. This study provides an examination of the technical development of
extended techniques in the flute repertoire by Argentine composers. A supplementary
viii
anthology of these works has been compiled and included to provide a reference point for
further academic research. Furthermore, two pieces were selected from these works to
illustrate the technical evolution encompassed by the utilization of new instrumental
techniques in the last five decades. An exhaustive analysis of these compositions intends
to provide readers and contemporary music performers with valuable ideas that may
enrich their capacity to understand the specialized repertoire and to conceive further
development and musical application of new instrumental resources.
