INTERRELATIONS BETWEEN LUCIANO BERIO'S SINFONIA AND SAMUEL BECKETT'S THE UNNAMABLE

摘要

This literature and music approximation is a contribution to Berio's Sinfonia understanding in relation with Beckett's novel The Unnamable. In this paper I intent to explain how Berio use The Unnamable in his Sinfonia, which are the reasons that uses Beckett's text, what is his purpose quotating The Unnamable and how he integrates, harmonizes and interrelates it with the rest of the quotations applied in Sinfonia. Sinfonia has already been analysed but I haven't found an approximation focused enough on the interrelations between Beckett's The Unnamable and Berio's Sinfonia. Considering the dimension and the object of this paper, my labour would be only an approximation to the purpose mentiond above. My tasks are to compare The Unnamable and its meanings with Berio's music, quotations, programs and all other referencies that submerge in this versatil process of fusion.
