Luciano Berio’s modernism, which has fallen off the critical radar since the composer’s death, is not typically tied to extroverted political statements, and so does not easily allow for the fashionable (liberal) equation of aesthetic radicalism with political radicalism. On the contrary, Berio’s musical output is perhaps instructive precisely as a negative case study of the link between political and aesthetic radicalisms. Such will be the gambit of this article, which will consider the engagement with contemporary ideas of ‘openness’ and practices of phenomenology in works from the early 1960s, like Passaggio (1962) and Epifanie (1963), to illuminate Berio’s relationship to the so-called neoavanguardia, a cultural movement which emerged in the 1950s and 1960s as part of a withdrawal from the cultural–political activism associated within Italy’s leftist intelligentsia.

The recent collected editions on his theatre work, though wide ranging and often insightful, remain partial (see Ferrari, Giordano (ed.), Le Théâtre musical de Luciano Berio, 2 vols (Editions L’Harmattan, 2016))Google Scholar.

5 This is essentially the task of Martin Iddon’s monograph, New Music at Darmstadt: Nono, Stockhausen, Cage, and Boulez (Cambridge University Press, 2013) which, despite its wealth of useful and insightful material on the organizers, contributors, and attendees of the Darmstadt Summer Courses, cannot see the wood for the trees as it hunts in the serial methods of construction for proof of the inexistence of a stylistically defined ‘Darmstadt School’; the author loses sight of the fact that varied methods of serial construction remain tied to serial construction, and also pays limited attention to the similarities in the aesthetic results of these serial compositions. Another noteworthy proponent of such scholarship is Fox, Christopher, as in ‘Darmstadt and the Institutionalisation of Modernism’, Contemporary Music Review, 27.1 (2007), pp. 115–23CrossRefGoogle Scholar.

7 Iddon’s notion of ‘plurality’ (programmatically expressed in Martin Iddon, ‘Darmstadt Schools: Darmstadt as a Plural Phenomenon’, Tempo, 65.256 (2011), pp. 2–8) strategically retains the autonomy of individual composers in their art by emphasizing their personal, social connections. It thereby remains tied to the ‘rhetoric of autonomy’, as outlined in Wilson’s, Charles ‘György Ligeti and the Rhetoric of Autonomy’, Twentieth-Century Music, 1.1 (2004), pp. 5–28 CrossRefGoogle Scholar.

Here Benjamin claims: ‘Those who currently rule are however the heirs of all those who have ever been victorious. […] The spoils are, as was ever the case, carried along in the triumphal procession. They are known as the cultural heritage. […] It owes its existence not only to the toil of the great geniuses, who created it, but also to the nameless drudgery of its contemporaries. There has never been a document of culture, which is not simultaneously one of barbarism. And just as it is itself not free from barbarism, neither is it free from the process of transmission, in which it falls from one set of hands into another. The historical materialist thus moves as far away from this as measurably possible. He regards it as his task to brush history against the grain.’

Throughout Osmond-Smith’s later articles on La vera storia (1981) and Outis (1996) there are lengthy discussions of these operas’ dramatic structures, and some effort is made to incorporate contextual factors into political-philosophical readings of the two works. But ultimately the focus on the work in musical terms remains: greater attention on dramatic content supports extended considerations of how the music works within this dramaturgy in both articles, and Osmond-Smith’s attempts to historicize these works, is largely based upon comparisons with other texts in the operatic tradition or Berio’s past works. Though these trends are perhaps more apparent in the article on La vera storia than the article on Outis (with its sustained comparison of Outis with Joyce’s Finnegans Wake (1939)), the latter article still remains within the same problematic.
