  Article:   GRAPHISM AND ORGANISATION IN LES OISEAUX. CHACONNE POUR ORGUE. HOMMAGE À MESSIAEN BY EDUARD TERÉNYI.

  Abstract:  The first bar of the L’Ascension by Oliver Messiaen was taken by Terényi as “an ostinato bass”, a modal and a harmonical support that has the variations of the Chaconne to develop onto them. The play has the mirror symmetries and palindrome structures as a background: from the palindrome modal scale to the palindrome of the meters and to the retrograde inversion of the design between the last three parts and the first three parts. Each variation describes a dramaturgical action that is graphically revealed and gives a space for many improvisatory variants. The score, together with other plays of E. Terényi were included in exhibitions and were received with a special interest by the public.
