Augu
st Verbesselt's Three
Monologues for flute
alone, like much of his
music, lies somewhere in
between Bartók and
Muczynski. His
experimentations with
dodecaphony and
atonality, like
Bartók, were directed
towards making strange
and different types of
music appealing - and
Verbesselt was intent on
making music that was
comprehensible to
audiences. The deeper
influences of Bartók
can be heard clearly in
the recitativ and night
music of the second
Monologue, written in
near-free time. The first
and third Monologues,
however, hold more
resemblance to
Muczynski's Three
Preludes - more
aggressive, more Flemish,
but with a rhythmic
vitality that transforms
less traditional ideas
into intriguing,
appealing patterns and
dances. The high level of
playing required also
matches Muczynski's
Preludes, and allows the
Monologues to easily hold
their own in recital or
competition.
