New notation in the piano parts of Z. Ballata's chamber works
Session

Description
Zeqirja Ballata (1943), a Kosovar composer, is considered by local and international scholars and music critics as an emblematic creator in general and as a promoter of modernist and postmodernist compositional techniques in particular. He composed about 160 works of various formations and genres. The paper New Notation in the Piano Parts of Z. Ballata's Chamber Works is a part-aspect of the previous in-depth study: The Piano Works of Zeqirja Ballata-Promoting the Contemporary Style, where indicators have been identified that, the analysis of Ballata's chamber works, can strengthen the conclusion that Ballata is a Kosovar composer with the earliest and most dense use of new notation that surpasses the traditional pianistic sound. The object of this research is the signs of new notation in Ballata's chamber music, preceded by general data that serve as the basis for establishing the main object of the research. The purpose of analyzing the notation of new notation in 10 out of 56 chamber works of Ballata is to alleviate the proven lack of relevant information, the supposed expansion of the list of signs of new notation compared to earlier studies. The qualitative method was used as a research method. The samples were selected randomly. The format of the artifacts was of two types; manuscripts and digitized in SIBELIUS. The results are presented in tabular form, where one of the columns is provided with photos of contemporary notation signs as visual evidence.
