ABSTRACT
Starting in 1958, Luciano Berio composed the series of solo portraits of the most important Western instruments and of their soloists that are the Sequenzas, contemporary portraits of traditional instruments that reflect an awareness of genre and tradition and that play with the customary images of the instruments while, at the same time, differentiating themselves from them, drawing up new images of the instruments. Berio has never been interested in one-dimensionality. 1
