Abstract

The article is devoted to the features of the unique artistic system of the Italian composer Luciano Berio (1925–2003) called musical phonology, presented on the example of the composition “Visage” (1961). In the 1950s, Berio and his colleagues at the electroacoustic studio Studio di Fonologia Musicale were interested about phonology as a branch of linguistics, based on the fundamental work of N. S. Trubetskoy “Fundamentals of phonology.” The main aspects of this book Berio creatively embodied in compositions for voice and gradually developed in his work a new approach to the unity of words and musical sound.
