Syncretic Art in the Musical Language of the Opus 27 by Eugene Ysaye

Abstract

Violinist, conductor, pedagogue, composer Eugène Ysaÿe represents a transitional sacrosanct monolith from a musical point of view situated at the crossroads of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries in the art of which we encounter with much skill the jointing of a well established musical system together with a debordant overflowing imagination. Eugène Ysaÿe has managed therefore to obtain a masterpiece worthy of the full attention of musicologists and anyone curious enough about innovative evolutionary principles in music as well as in other domains.
