ABSTRACT NARRATIVE OR NARRATIVE WITHOUT NARRATIVE: W. KANDINSKY, Der gelbe Klang / A. SOLBIATI, Il Suono giallo

Summary/Abstract: The Western symphonic tradition rests on the presence of narrativity, which is defined as meaning-producing directionality, teleology or constructed and coherent processuality. W. Kandinsky's "scenic composition" Der gelbe Klang (1912) and the "scenic vision" Il suono giallo (2015) by Italian composer A. Solbiati highlight, with all the different means at their disposal, the role of deep narrativity stemming from the symphonic tradition in multimedia contexts where the presence of speech and, consequently, of linguistic meaning is of very limited importance. It is the teleological management of multi-dimensional space-time, where musical, pictorial and choreographic movement (Kandinsky) or sound movement, character movement and set and lighting movement (Solbiati) merge, that defines the essence of multi-dimensional deep narrativity.
