A dissertation submitted to the graduate faculty in music in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts, The City University of New York. - UMI number: 3508845. - Avhandling (ph.d.) - The City University of New York, 2012. - Salvatore Sciarrino's works hold a seminal place in the avant-garde repertoire of the late twentieth century. Sciarrino's musical language is not widely understood, nor are his unique techniques for playing many instruments. Of the two instruments he most consistently favors, the piano and the flute, the flute is the instrument with which he repeatedly achieves human intensity and breathable warmth. In this dissertation I show how he creates a new sonic palette, fabricating a new instrument out of the traditional flute, a "superflute" of sorts. Using his first volume of solo flute music, I borrow Sciarrino's own analytical tools to analyze these works, using his "figures" as interpretive, as well as analytical, tools. Sciarrino's flute works appears a daunting undertaking to flutists because of their notation and the almost complete absence of any traditional flute sonorities. I provide a guide to learning the techniques of his works and turning those physical techniques into musical gestures while suggesting possible interpretations through my experience of learning the pieces.
