Abstract

After an introduction to music phenomenology and the method of experimental listening, we present the outcome of our phenomenological investigation of Pithoprakta, encompassing comparatively detailed descriptions and hermeneutical interpretations of the work, including prominent musical features, sonorities, densities and transformations of sound masses. A survey of the work summarizes the macroform and possible emotional interpretations of the music. A selection of quotations by Xenakis permits the suggestion of a conclusion regarding the relationship between mathematical calculations and music in Pithoprakta. A brief discussion points out some limitations of the investigation and suggestions for further study.
