The Musical Language of Zeqirja Ballata in His Piano Work Fantasia Rustica ()
ABSTRACT
Zeqirja Ballata (1943), a Kosovar composer, is in
step with the works of his time, more precisely belonging to the postmodernist
period. Throughout his musical opus, he showed consistency to the contemporary
stylistic elements of the second half of the twentieth century. Among the 157 musical
works by the Kosovar composer Zeqirja Ballata, this paper brings the results of
the analysis of the musical language used in Fantasia rustica (for the left hand). The
work in question is atonal, with dominant dissonance followed by short
consonant bursts. Employing a qualitative research method, or analysis, the
work was analysed including the following musical parameters: general and
historical data of the piece, structure, linear expression, consonant
structures, rhythm and its components, dynamics and synthesis of musical
parameters in the process of concretization. The paper also contains notation
tables and examples illustrating concretization moments.
