The Newest Performing Techniques

The rapid development of the newest composing techniques in the twentieth century triggered the development of extended methods of playing instruments. The emergence of advanced performing techniques in the middle of the twentieth century is inextricably linked with the establishment and evolution of timbre-texture co-ordinateTimbre-texture co-ordinate which became one of the exceptional phenomena of new music. The merging of timbre and texture and the formation of a new timbre-texture co-ordinate is an unprecedented phenomenon of avant-garde music. The timbre-texture co-ordinate itself began to curve spacetime in musical works, and numerous new techniques, styles and directions appeared because of it. In particular, sonoristics—one of the most promising compositional approachess—is also a vivid manifestation of timbre-texture co-ordinate.
