About Artistic Vanguard in Favour of a new Renaissance

Abstract

The study presents an introspective outlook of the phenomenological character on the issue of the musical artistic vanguard and its age. The comparison between different musical ages is suggested as a reflection theme; there is the present age – the one the musician lives as a performer and musicologist influenced by some vanguardist compositions, like those by P. Boulez and an age which is over from the immediate perspective of Fr. Couperin, the composer and the harpsichord player, which – as related to the moment of its performance – was also a vanguardist movement in the musical aesthetics of its age. The performer pleads for the consistency of expression, sensitive vanguard, full of meaning and human sense.
