THE HARMONIC ANALYSIS OF GIULIO BRICCIALDI SELECTED FLUTE WORKS: EXPLORING THE NEO-RIEMANNIAN THEORY BASED VIA COMPUTATIONAL AIDED ANALYSIS

In the exploration of employing the Neo-Riemannian-based analysis towards 19th century flute music, I profoundly examine six flute works by an Italian composer who was established as a performer, and composer, Giulio Briccialdi (1818-1881). Born in Terni, Italy, he accomplished to write several virtuosic works for flute in the nineteenth-century era. His renowned flute repertoire ‘Il Carnevale dzzzi Venezia’ has been widely performed nonetheless, it is surprising that his musical works, especially on the flute, have not yet been extensively examined. I aim to depict and identify a harmony representation implemented from the computer-aided analysis based on the Neo-Riemannian analysis called Hexachord.org and ChordComplexViz. The implementation of the spreadsheets in this article intends to retrieve musical information and provide a measurement to disclose the analysis of its musical elements of harmonic analysis that offers an extended attribute to the flute works in the 19th-century music era from these selected works of Briccialdi. I choose these selected repertoires: Ballabile Op. 15, Concerto Op. 65, Il Vento Op. 112, Il Carnevale di Venezia Op. 78, Le Carezze Op. 79, and Solo Brillante Op. 80 due to the reason that these musical works selected remained ‘untouched’.
