Sequenza XI for sologuitar (1987–1988) is one of a series ofSequenzas byLuciano Berio. Written for the American guitaristEliot Fisk.
The composition is in four large sections, and sets out from thesix pitches of the open strings of the guitar. The composer asserted that two intervals are important elements in the work: the perfect fourth (which is the interval found between most neighbouring pairs of the guitar's strings) and the tritone, which leads to a different harmony of Berio's devising.[1]
Sequenza XI is a standard work for guitarists who have chosenavant-gardemodern classical music as a part of their repertoire, e.g., Denis Sung-Hô (performedSequenzas with members of theensemble intercontemporain), Stefan Östersjö, Todd Seelye,Mats Scheidegger, Geoffrey Morris,Pablo Gómez,Pablo Márquez, Alan Thomas, Jürgen Ruck, Nico Couck, etc.: it has been recorded numerous times (see below).
Berio'sChemins V (1992) is a work for guitar and ensemble based onSequenza XI.[2]
