The sketches for Edgard Varèse’s Déserts (1954) provide new perspectives on the composer’s working methods. Examination of these documents shows that the orchestral score of Déserts is built on a single twelve-tone row. This paper aims to show how Varèse formed invariant relations between set forms by the association of consecutive and non-consecutive elements. Specific examples of the compositional realization of such relationships are provided through sketch-based analyses.

Abstract
The sketches for Edgard Varèse’s Déserts (1954) provide new perspectives on the composer’s working methods. Examination of these documents shows that the orchestral score of Déserts is built on a single twelve-tone row. This paper aims to show how Varèse formed invariant relations between set forms by the association of consecutive and non-consecutive elements. Specific examples of the compositional realization of such relationships are provided through sketch-based analyses.File in questo prodotto:
