Abstract

The work Lo que nos va dejando by M. Etkin is characterized by the restriction of expressive means, which allows for an in-depth examination of the essential aspects of its structure. In this work, the composer’s central aesthetic and technical concerns are evident: minimally varied repetition, the modular configuration of materials, the centrality of timbre and resonances, all of which are foundational elements of his anti-organicist conception of musical form. Our study adds the discovery of a subtle rhythmic linkage of a linear nature, which is analyzed and described throughout the entire piece. In this general framework, we propose that the work can be understood as the result of the tension between these two poles: the anti-organicist, on one side, and the linear (ultimately organicist), on the other.
