STRUCTURAL ELEMENTS IN HANS PETER TÜRK'S SUITE FOR CLARINET SOLO

Summary/Abstract: The Suite for clarinet solo composed by Hans Peter Türk was written in 1972 and is made up of three parts: Prelude - which is based on a form of sonata (even sonatina, due to its reduced length); Melopoeia - is an Arioso with a three stanza form of the type A B Av in which the predominant interval, also gaining an essential role in structuring the musical discourse, is the major and minor third; and Ostinato – which I consider to be the most complex part from the point of view of composition techniques. It contains two successive musical “moments” in contrast with one another. The score has a rich palette of instrumental colours, unified by a melodious modal-chromatic writing.
