Work introduction
Although
Berio makes use of a wide variety of playing techniques and modes of
expression in Sequenza XI, the guitar largely retains the sounds we usually associate with it,
especially the world of flamenco. Fortissimi
and passages marked violento
recur, but the basic mood is one of reflective, melancholy introspection.
