•“I start from tonal and modal positions that I then try to enrich and develop with polytonal, polymelodic and atonal elements...". With these words Piero Pezzè (1913-80) synthesized his musical poetics. From his late-impressionist beginnings in the 1920s on, he engaged in constant dialogue with his musical writing. He experimented constantly, refining his writing in a personal style based on clarity and coherence. In the final years of his life he drew closer to dodecaphonic-serial techniques.
