Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the twentieth century, both Western and Eastern composers composed flute pieces under the influence of the avant-garde movement. Edgard Varèse’s Density 21.5 (1936), Kazuo Fushima’s Mei (1962), and Tōru Takemistu’s Itinerant (1989) have become landmark pieces in solo flute literature, demonstrating innovations in both instrumental achievements and musical aesthetics since the 1930s. These pieces are often played in flute recitals to represent the Modern period in Western classical music.This study will apply intertextual analysis to the aforementioned flute pieces using music–theoretical—that is, analytical—evidence, based on current studies such as Klein 2005, Korsyn 2003, and Straus 1990. Applying intertextual analyses to those works is a proper way to connect these pieces, which reflect different cultural aesthetics. In a very practical sense, this study provides performers and listeners a new way to understand the music by relating each piece to the others.
