- Title
Mashup Strategies in Las cuatro estaciones porteñas: A Model for Connecting Compositional Technique to Musical Interpretation.
- Authors
Watson, Wayanne
- Abstract
Previous scholarship on the mashup genre has primarily focused on exploring the connections between a mashup's original source materials and their implied meanings. Less analytical attention, however, has been placed on theorizing the shifts in dominance by one work over another that can unfold over the course of the mashup. By combining the concepts of musical work identity and contrast value into a model of quote/host interactions, I develop a four-category spectrum of quotation types and their implied hierarchical relationships that define specific compositional strategies used in a mashup. I then employ this model to analyze the shifting quotation dynamics in Leonid Desyatnikov's arrangement of Piazzolla's Las cuatro estaciones porteñas, a cross-stylistic mashup of Piazzolla's original work with Vivaldi's Four Seasons.
